  I had one (204.91.10/24) until a few weeks ago. The abortion
formerly known as Digex just strongarmed ARIN and took it from me. I
registered the /16 that it's a subnet of (204.91/16), and I even know
a few people over there...and they STILL took it.

  It REALLY pissed me off. (But hey, better pissed OFF than pissed ON,
right? I know...it depends on what you're into)

  Don't think that because you've got it SWIP'd to you, and that your
name is all over it, that they can't simply take it away from you.
