not being mean)

That may be true, but what does a provider do when they are presented with
written 'authority to use address space' from a customer? Certianly if the
customer provides 'proper' documentation that the ip space is available
for them to route, and that they have authority from the 'owner' to do
this... what is an ISP to do? Aside from route the blocks?
