They (Cogent) did indeed have David Harlow as Supervisor of their Abuse
team until very recently indeed.  David had achieved almost-universal
industry respect for what he had managed to achieve at Cogent.

I understand from both sides that David left Cogent on amicable terms;
I'm obviously not at liberty to say where he went but I would regard
his new position as a positive career move!

| one time Cogent did take spam very seriously but maybe that's changed.

You are absolutely right.  I have since managed to reach Cogent at the
right "level" and was able to ensure they are now aware of the problem.
Cogent has now removed a lot of the routing but despite the assurances
Emil Kacperski gave us here, Atrivo are still announcing the Los Angeles
County ISD bloc (170.208.0.0/16), this time via NLayer ...
