[arin-ppml] ARIN discontinuing DNSSEC capability to legacy holders

[John Santos]

With all due respect, you don't know what you are talking about.  You 
are attributing motives to me and other legacy holders, that are 
completely false and possibly libelous.  And I think there are way more 
of us than you imagine.

Received my class C from the InterNIC in 1993.  Don't need any more, 
just need RDNS and am happy to provide POC validation annually, and 
update my POC records every decade or two when things change, but 
otherwise require almost nothing from ARIN, so I don't see how I am a 
"freeloader".
