This should not be just a “nitpick". AT&T announces our extremely legacy ARIN allocation for us because we do not 
qualify to have an ASN, but I absolutely did not, will not, and *have actively resisted attempts to* transfer the block 
to them. I would sooner have my gums tattooed than give up my address space. Having an ASN was not a requirement when 
we were allocated the resource, and I don’t see why we should be punished for being early adopters.
