Some of those are clearly ludicrous to count as "incidents" at all,
and some
of them aren't obviously a single incident, by any reasonable measure
so if you're
planning to aggregate them all together into a single count the end
result is also going to be worthless. Some other way of aggregating
the data might be more useful.
(I also suspect that a subjective popularity contest list of
providers is
not likely to be viewed as operational by many on nanog, though I
think some of the underlying data might be).
Cheers,
Steve
