I'm actually willing to believe that it is true, I just don't have 
personal knowledge that it is or is not true.  Additionally, when I look 
at the differences in policies, they don't seem rise to the level of 
what I would call an unfair difference.

So, I'm simply asking for a specific example of a difference in policies 
that Bill or someone else believes rises to the level of being an unfair 
difference.  Or, if someone is willing to state, publicly or privately, 
that they have direct first-hand knowledge it is, or has been, 
significantly easier to get address space from APNIC, or any other RIR, 
than it is to get equilivant address space from ARIN.

I honestly don't believe this is a red herring or asking to much from 
the proponents of the idea that it is significantly harder to get 
address from ARIN than the other RIRs.  I'm only asking for a specific 
example of a policy difference or a first-hand anecdote.  I'm just not 
willing to accept "everyone knows" or second and third hand rumors.
