Yeah, yeah. Obviously some on each side of the question also
disbelieve the basis for the other side's claim. For example, I think
the idea that IPv6 will be capable of playing a role in the solution
is a crock and that the feared hording has already happened by a few
large ISPs who opted to use globally routeable IP addresses instead of
NATed systems everywhere they could primarily because it leaves them
in control of huge swaths of address space.

If it makes you feel better, add "And by the way, the other side's
claims are in error," to both the proponent and opponent sides.

Bill Herrin
