[arin-ppml] Proposal insanity --- an open letter

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

"The one thing that is clear is that the IPv4 resources in the ARIN 
region will become the most untraceable mess possible because the 
continued arrogance about 'need' will drive most market participants to 
avoid letting ARIN in on the activities."

Please quit revealing our secret plans for getting everyone on IPv6!!!!!!
