LINX and every other exchange point in Europe and several large US ISPs,
and as I understand it there are other IXP's in the world that have 
this practise, whilst I don't think its useful, other people do.

No it wasn't. It was done for operational reasons, I think most
people would rather that they knew that one of their peers had been
taken down and why that had happened in case it affected their customers.

Clearly you don't feel so strongly about good customer service, I and 
I believe the majority of the LINX membership do believe in good customer
service. You don't have any kind of involvement with other European Exchange
points do you Randy?
