[arin-ppml] Stratus astroturfing

[Brandt, Jason]

In this case, they felt the only way to even be heard was to get discussion going on this list, of which they were successful.  Again, if you don't agree with the stance, then voice your opinions.  To me this was a simple grass roots effort to make their voice heard.  Feels like people just want to beat that to death rather than focusing on the actual issue.

It is a public list, but such a display of manufactured "support"
appears to be an attempt to manipulate policy in a way that is not for
the benefit of the community it's supposed to serve. Often when someone
wants a policy to happen so badly that they're willing to try to tip the
scales in their favor by any means necessary, it usually means it's not
good for the rest of us.
