[Kevin Kargel]

Absolutely wrong.  If a bad idea is a bad idea then call it a bad idea.  The fence riders and uninformed need to know it is a bad idea.  

If you want to hit me with clubs I am not going to help you figure out how to make it more palatable.  I am going to tell you not to hit me at all.

Why would we want to spend our time working on a bad idea?

ARIN is a registrar and has no business telling me what addresses I must put on my router interfaces.  Arin's job is to dole out IP addresses and keep track of who they were given to.

As has been brought up here multiple times, there is no public internet.  There is a cooperative association of private networks communicating for fun and profit.
