[arin-ppml] ARIN-PPML Digest, Vol 106, Issue 8 (Sandra Brown)

All these arguments are most interesting, but of course nothing is certain

that whatever argument seemed to establish the greatest order and stability
for the Internet as a whole would win out...in the end. But then again,
almost everyone has more legal perspective and experience than I do.....
