but why should i pay the costs because the tool was not designed to do what
you want done?

i will happily work on tool design with you [0].  but, in the meantime, why
should i have to pay a penalty for your odd business choices?

( casual readers should note that 'you' and 'i' are abstract terms, and
that geoff usually claims to be more of a capitalist than i :-)

[0] - community-minded folk might suggest that a universally agreed
      DO-NOT-EXPORT-TO-PEERS community would get you a good way there.
      at least it would approximately follow the money.

      also note that filtering peers' announcements on rir allocation
      boundaries would seem to go a way toward meeting both your needs
      and mine.  and it is what smb's nanog presentation alludes to.
