With the constant change in the global network represented by the changes to
my BGP tables, is there a particular reason why something like this needs to
be on-list outside of network bragging and soliciting?

Perhaps because FNSI is a decent size network with a significant number of
peering connections and BGP speaking customers. This was the first notice I
have seen that they will be aquired by Cogent.

It was forwarded by not as propoganda but as a heads-up to the people who will
be affected. It was not sent by FNSI to Nanog but by a customer of FNSI (us).

And this was any more off topic than 90% of the other garbage on this list
lately?
