Dude, seriously. Just because they aren't in *YOUR* routing table doesn't mean 
that they aren't in hundreds of other routing tables.

Look, more than half of Milnet isn't publicly advertised on the Internet. This 
doesn't mean that it's okay to advertise Milnet routes to locations which might 
be closer to you (bgp-wise) than the actual owners of the addresses. You are 
totally missing the point of unique assignment.

This is like claiming that we should reuse the phone numbers of people who 
block their number when they call you. Yes, really, it makes just as much sense.
