seems a hack. what if they announce a /24 from your space and they mostly have
shorter path lengths? you still lose...

thought about the possibility of someone mistakenly, or maliciously,
announcing more specifics from my space.
The best solution for an emergency response to that (that I can think
of), is registering all of the /24's that make up my network, so if
someone should announce a more-specific, I can always announce the most
specific that would be accepted (assuming they don't announce the /24's
too, it should be a problem avoided)

Does anyone else have any other ideas on ways to quickly deal with
someone else announcing your more specifics, since contacting their NOC
is likely going to take a long time...
