Well.  After getting back from a trip I find, what?  That Mr. Bush 
has a bug up his ass.   Bottom line:

- We do default route.  Into a Sprint T3 that we pay for.  :-)

- We do not pass no-next-hop-self routes - Check around, if someone 
was as bright as they think they are it would be obvious.

- We only peered with Verio in the first place becuase someone other 
than Randy contacted us

- We formerly sent a lot of traffic to Verio because it's customers 
love porn, and we have several rather large web farms downstream.

The number listed in whois is bad, sorry, it happens.  But the number 
on our web site is not.  

When there is a problem and we are involved, I say so.  There was no 
problem here and we won't miss Verio peering one bit.

BTW: Below is the "snotty" message that was sent to our 
NOC and it's reply.  Who was snottier than who?

  Our peering at mae-east is very acceptable to us. However we find that Verio
brings nothing to our table. Thank you and Goodbye.
