"everything not expressly forbidden is allowed" is a workable model for
peering relationships and even transit relationships, but it only works
within the context of a direct relationship of some kind.
I remember when the Internet was a collaborative collection of networks and
network operators attempting to allow seamless connectivity among the
users/content on each network. Based on the tone of this thread, those
days are long gone.
How much money do I need to send each of you for forcing this email, with
an opinion that is contrary to yours, to traverse your network without your
expressly stated consent?
