	i'm sorry - this smacks of shear laziness.
	trying to get ARIN to manage your routing table
	is kind of like asking your mom to still do your
	laundry.

	no one is -forcing- you to accept any route whatsoever.
	your router, your choice.

	do the thought experiment... how many /32s are there in
	the IPv6 universe?  Got a router for that?  Didn't think so.

	Folk are going to have to face the fact that they can't
	depend on their benevolent RIR to manage the potential size
	of the routing table anymore...  

	So ISPS and others who run routers, a bit of advice from my
	friend Bailey White;  "Pull up your big girl panties and deal."
