[arin-ppml] ARIN-prop-180 ISP Private Reassignment

[aaron at wholesaleinternet.net]

Support

--- but let me tell you how this is going to go down ---

1.  The AC is going to abandon it.

2.  You'll petition and get it to the meeting.

3.  In the months leading up to the meeting you'll receive e-mails from
people calling you every name you can think of.  Saying you're a spammer
and that you're trying to hide criminals and that you rape babies.

A few security "experts" will write in their blogs about how you must be
some criminal yourself.  They'll try to get to your wife and kids and use
them to squeeze you.

Keep in mind none of these people will have actually read your proposal.

4.  You'll go to the meeting to present it.  Law enforcement will be there
and try to appeal to your sense of good to drop the policy.  When that
fails they meet with you late at night and try to make some back room deal
with you.

5.  Realizing that you're life could become very difficult very fast
you'll get up at the podium the next day and retract your support for your
own proposal.

6.  Two years later someone else will propose the same thing.

7.  Rinse, repeat.
