I've been very quiet on the scanning for smurf amps thing... which is
contrary to my nature :-)

However, I would really not like to see a BGP based listing of smurf
amps based on results from scanning.

E-mailing network operators who have smurf amps that happen to not have been
abused (maybe its a /30 with little bandwidth) smacks of UBE to me... and
you shouldn't be listing without notification...
