	i'm in the midst of writting a brief article about 69/8
reachability that i inted to post on /. and as a result hopefully
it will become a more publically visible issue as places like
news.google pick up /. articles.  If you have a server that is
in 69/8 that you want referenced by it, perhaps a test machine
saying "your network appears to be working ok" that you want listed
let me know.

	I also am going to allow people to submit urls for a "wall
of shame" that still show 69/8 (amongst others) as something to block.
obviously we won't accept messages to mailing lists that are older
but anyones current "use these filters to help secure your network"
pages should get listed.

	I encourage people who find networks that are blocking
69/8 that you get them to fix to ask them if they continue to
use such filtering to subscribe to Rob's bogon-announce list
that is hosted on my machine.
