RE: BGP to doom us all

we are suppose to, we also need to maintain the right level being paranoid
to protect the networks we are responsible for.

What a crock of crap.  Knowing who someone is doesn't stop them from causing

intentional or unintentional problems.  In fact, authentication is more

Puleeeaaazzzz...
