Huh? On his machine he has the *right* to do whatever he damn well pleases.
If his actions leak out onto the net he may be antisocial, but in a system
based on anarchy he can do whatever he wants. I've already added the ARPA
host table to my pathalias database, and since rocksvax does not optimize
paths by default this shouldn't matter to anyone except rocksvax users
who elect to use the lookup software.
