I just had a discussion with our legal advisor whether it is necessary or
not to sign a peering contract with every (little) peering partner.

I know that a lot of the big ones require these contracts and I don't have
a problem with that, my opinion just is that a contract with a peer who
announces one /19 is not really necessary.

        Today's Opnix is tomorrow's UUNet, and it's easier to get the
contract when they are small to use as a hammer when they are big.

        Ok, I just tried three times, I can't say that sentence without
laughing, but it makes my point. :-)
