Once upon a time Darrell Fuhriman shaped the electrons to say...
>subnet into OSPF for their dial up lines, instead of oodles of 32
>bit routes. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as turning off

They DON'T announce oodles of /32 routes. They announce the MINIMUM
number of routes required to cover the pool. The number of routes sent
depends on the starting point of the pool and the size. So if you set
the pool to start on an even subnet boundary and set the size to 32, it
will be one route.
