I certainly wasn't implying that people should attach to the Internet
without permission.  Rather, I was pointing out that whether your
application needs to get "blessed" depends upon what you say to the
question about whether you are going to connect to the DoD Internet.
One theory as to why people may have had trouble getting numbers is
that they inappropriately said that they intended to connect to the
Internet, for example because they didn't understand exactly what the
question meant.
