Lee,

Start at http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/ppml/2007-October/009369.html
and read the thread through
http://lists.arin.net/pipermail/ppml/2007-October/009383.html. It
documents harm to the US political process in 2006 as a direct result
of this heirarchical aggregation approach.

Why is it bad? Its bad because those customers get hurt.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
