        Essentially none of these sorts of analyses
are meaningful or relevant because one can yield
any result or ordering one wants by playing games
with the definition of "ISP" and the basis for
the ranking.

        Also very unclear to me how any of this
helps folks operate their networks or is applicable
to NANOG, unless we've become a marketing organisation
recently...
