                <p>Of course Owen, on every email I read from you I get

                  the policies set as reasonable.<br>
                </p>
                <p>It is of course up to the RIR, has always been and

                  things which some private ones keeps refusing to
                  comply because take out their freedom to do what they
                  like with something doesn't belong to them. Simply if
                  something is not in line with a policy set by this
                  forum it is up to the RIR to dictate something that
                  may not be desired by someone. I know that it may not
                  be good for certain kind of business but life is not
                  fair in many ways. So, just save up from recurring to

                <p>It doesn't matter if an IXP have abused or not. What
                  I am putting is there should be well defined rules on
                  how resources can be used and not allow this
                  continuous "rule-less party desire" go just because it
