If you were an ARIN member operating a global network, you probably 
wouldn't feel that way.  I'd argue "many" who do so, but I only have 
first-hand knowledge of a few ARIN members who do so, prefer as much as 
possible to deal with one RIR (one set of rules/regulations to keep up 
with, common language and currency) for their IP space needs.
