I didn't word that email well at all. 208.8.16.0/21 belongs to our AS19975 > I have to wonder why a phone call and pleading were needed to get > it out of 65/8 - was your /21 being filtered or hidden in some way? I pleaded to get it changed from 65/8 to 208/8. I *assumed* that having a /21 from 65/8 would get us filtered by Verio (at least), but that a /21 from 208/8 should not be filtered anywhere.
