Correct.  A particularly interesting case, since ORBS' transit provider 
was also a transit customer of Above.net.  Said transit provider would 
announce their /16s, of which ORBS sat in a /24 or two of, and have 
their traffic blackholed.

IIRC they punched /24s via their other transit providers to partly 
resolve the issue.

But the rest of the story - let's not go there.
