[members-discuss] [Ticket#2012061901001911] Need help. Can't remove routes for ex Assigned PA.

Hi Ian;

Yes, we live in a grey world. What's worse, getting a pile of spam/using
computer resources to clean it up or using resources to route a few more
prefixes/mitigate it? I suppose it depends on your viewpoint.

It's only going to get worse, but it's always been the same; put more
memory in your router or filter routes.

Oh, and sorry for the big sig earlier ;)

Mike
