[arin-ppml] Internet Fairness

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Another "Freewill" by Rush fan, I see.... ;-)  Your dating yourself...

An IP address adjacency is no guarantee anymore that the devices are in 
the same room.

I can put 198.199.199.191 in Chicago and purchase a layer 2 circuit to 
Denver and put 198.199.199.192 on that.

Please don't perpetuate the myth that adjacent IP's are always in the 
same geographical region.  There's enough wanna be Sorcerers Apprentices 
out there cobbling together PHP websites that claim to "analyze" your 
nameservers who don't know their piehole from their otherhole.
