Precedent, Randy, Precedent !

    UUnet and few others a long time ago had a differing definition of
"peering" that most of us thought, at the time...

But were so BIG, we accepted their routes, anyway.

  * shrug *

A secret black list is a real bugger if:

  No one is allowed to mention it exists.

  If you get on it, there is now way off, no "right of redress".

  No one can -tell- you you are on it.

  No one can tell you if you -aren't-.....

  And if you -somehow- figure out your on it,
   they can't admit it,
   or the -reason- you are on it,
   or take you off even if they wanted.

  Any and all of the above.

  On a lighter note, the US Senate recently
  unsealed the American McCarthy Hearing records.

  :O    :*   :}
