* Thus spake David Schwartz (davids () webmaster com):

      The quesetion is bogus, there is no such thing as a right to have a route
in my router without paying me for it. If I choose to extend that privilege
to people who meet certain minimum requirements because I believe the
benefits will outweight the costs, then that's *my* right. All others can
pay me to do it if they want me to. Your rights end at my network.

I agree that there is no 'right' to have a route in someone else's router.  
Different providers, different policies etc. etc.  However, if I choose 
to filter on allocation boundaries but advertise prefixes to peers that 
I myself would filter based on my own policy is that considered 
hypocritical?  Bad form?  Acceptable?  Just wondering aloud.
