[consume-routing] Demo Kit

[01983Net]

I moved this thread to legal some time ago.

The point here was if we (on the IOW) get the attention of Telco's/ISP's and
upset them with what we are doing, and we will,  and they (ISP's etc) want
to get funny and make trouble with the RA is that a problem for consume as
they could point at consume as well.

If it is we will step back from public info linking us with consume.

I am sure ALD can stand up for them selves but it depends on your level of
fear.

The RA can visit us any time.
