RFC1918 addreses cause real problems. They are not supposed to be used. It

selfishishness.

Furthermore, if you claim that you have the right to violate spirit and
intent of Internet BCPs then I certainly have the right to complain about
it without being labelled as psycho/paranoid/nazi.

Neat. Well, how about we apply your zeal and get packet source address
spoofing sorted out so we at least have a way of tracing broken machines
being used as DoS hosts?

Pretty please? :)
