Private ASNs in the wild

[ml at kenweb.org (ML)]

I had resurrected a similar thread last year:

There are sloppy networks out there.  If it was a big enough problem all 
you'd need is a few key networks drop those prefixes and we'd have 
a...slightly less sloppy Internet?

The results of the fat fingers showed that there are an astronomical number of private ASNs in the wild.  I checked the CIDR report, and those ASNs are shown there in a specific Bogon ASN report, but Iâ??m surprised that as far as I can recall, there havenâ??t been any efforts made by the good netizens around these parts to bring awareness to this issue.
