Indeed. Not only is it pointless, it's terribly performance impacting and 
would then mean we'd become a transit provider. Which, absolutely, we're not. 
Also we're getting transit from our upstreams, and any clueful net admin will 
tell you that allowing transit between different providers is (usually) a 
breach of contract - and probably won't work anyway, since they're filtering 
our BGP announcements as per our assigned AS number.

Or in Nottingham. Which lots of them do.
