That's why I can't believe Cogent actually did this.  14:46 eastern, May 2
my Cogent rep Scott Elrod emailed me indicating there would be no
resolution to the dispute, and to contact him should I wish to have Cogent
service in the future.  Since then we received *NO* contact from
Cogent.  I first heard that Cogent was expecting an immediate renumbering
from the /22 was when I got an email from Peer1 (as I was watching
Montreal beat Carolina).
