Hello;

I can  see your announcements just fine through Level 3.

As one of the proponents of 2002-3 that led to 4.2.1.5, I would be
very interested in hearing of your (and other's) experiences. This, of
course, was exactly what 2002-3 / 4.2.1.5 was intended to prevent !

Of course, just as new allocations to ARIN or RIPE are announced here,
it may be a good idea to start announcing 2002-3 allocations as well.
