So, the ASn's are not picked at random, yet mine might be included if I don't specifically ask for them not to be included, yet you decline to tell how my ASn might have been selected for this. So, yes, please do keep my ASns out of this cloak and dagger research. I would have thought it prudent to seek permission from the particular ASn operators before even considering using them for this experiment. Regards James PS, curious if AS7007 is part of your set of selected ASns, however they may have been selected.
