No, but we have around  8K devices using our legal address space.  Just 
because I don't currently expose my hosts doesn't mean I don't want the 
option to be able to.  When we registered, firewalls weren't the 
up-and-coming thing, but then I've also got a /23 being routed via my AS.

Most of that comes from the fact that my addresses are pre-CIDR customer 
registered ones.  Once again, it's back to the whole aggragation of 
routes vs. disaggragation of traffic.

There, now that I've used disaggragation in a sentence, I'll sit down and 
shut up.
