Hmm, while we're at it, what relationship do you have with
Erie Forge and Steel, other than squatting on some of their
address space.Perhaps 146.20.0.0/16 is another example of hijacked address
space.
Perhaps you should learn the facts, before getting your stalk on and
contributing to this off-topic witch hunt.
Once upon a time, enterprises like Erie Forge were assigned class B's
of IP space. As a technologically progressive organization, Erie
seized the opportunity, and emerged as one of the first in the steel
industry to have most of their terminals, servers, printers, and even
casting equipment connected to the Internet.
Over the years, technology and operational practices evolved. No
longer does one need massive provider-independent space to connect to
the Internet; for many small to medium sized businesses, a simple
application proxy or NAT box and internal address space is adequate.
Despite your baseless claims to the contrary, the Information
Technology staff of Erie Forge and Steel is well aware, and approving,
of the current usage of their IP space. What you consider
"hijacking", they consider innovation, and an opportunity to give back
to the Internet community that's allowed them to prosper over the
years.
Getting down to business, I have three larger concerns with the style
and content of your posting.
One, the NANOG AUP (http://www.nanog.org/aup.html) clearly states:
"7. Postings to the list must be made using real, identifiable names
and addresses, rather than aliases."
With that in mind, I respectfully ask that Susan Harris and the NANOG
moderators require that you come into compliance with their policy,
and boot you off the list post-haste, should you fail to do so. I'm
appalled that you would even begin to point out shortcomings in
others, when you've neglected to follow such simple rules of decency
yourself.
Second, could you please do something about the high volume of spam
originating from and/or referencing your network? You must be too clueless
to take any action, or black hat spam heaven (if not a spammer yourself,
for letting this go on under your watch), from the gist of the postings
I've read. Kai Schlichting and the gentlemen on SPAM-L and NANAE will
be able to cooberate these reports.

Third, can you explain to me the following:
EnterAct EACT-ROUTERS-03 (NET-207-229-159-44-1) 207.229.159.44 - 207.229.159.51
EnterAct EACT-ROUTERS-02 (NET-207-229-159-20-1) 207.229.159.20 - 207.229.159.39
EnterAct EACT-VHOST-NT03 (NET-207-229-159-52-1) 207.229.159.52 - 207.229.159.255
EnterAct EACT-CUST-NERGE (NET-207-229-166-224-1) 207.229.166.224 - 207.229.166.239
EnterAct EACT-APM-TS01 (NET-216-80-19-0-1) 216.80.19.0 - 216.80.19.31
EnterAct EACT-APM-COLO01 (NET-216-80-19-32-1) 216.80.19.32 - 216.80.19.47
EnterAct EACT-APM-SERVERS01 (NET-216-80-19-48-1) 216.80.19.48 - 216.80.19.63

EnterAct EACT-CUST-DSL-01 (NET-216-80-0-0-2) 216.80.0.0 - 216.80.0.223
These prefixes belonging to "EnterAct" are advertised by RCN. Are they
illlegal customer advertisements, or are you just too clueless to update
their SWIP records in accordiance with the same ARIN policy you wish
to see applied to others, now that RCN has acquired EnterAct? Perhaps
we all should filter them now, and ask questions and carry out an investigation
later? I hope Rob Thomas is taking note, I'm sure these are not only
bogons, but violate some secret RFC (yeah dude, that's the ticket) documenting
reversed IP space.
Wait, that's not all. I see you have mail servers inside:

Mass, Rhode Island, or Canada? Which will it be? Can you make up your
mind please? Or get some IP space you can verify is yours.
