I completely agree with Jim: I have no idea why alert thresholds are set to a 
level of sensitivity which would cause this to become a "must be dealt with 
this minute" sort of issue.  What exactly is the threat potential of someone 
else's IP space being announced with your ASN prepended?  

If the concern was a Pilosov/Kapela style hijack, wouldn't the first thing 
you'd check be what the address range was?  That would lead you straight to 
Randy, and that should have cleared up the matter straightaway.  Remember: the 
owner of the IP space is the victim, not the ASN which gets prepended into the 
path...
