That depends on the definition of "we". _If_ transit operators don't<BR>
approve they only need participation from a handful of big networks to<BR>
render black/grey-market address-blocks useless. "We", as in everybody<BR>
else, can do little but watch should that happen.<BR>

Some people are willing to trade just about anything for a profit. That<BR>
doesn't mean that every form of profitable transaction must be<BR>
permitted.<BR>
