I only have 8 years on you :-)

Hi John,

Respectfully, you're dissembling here, offering a claim that's a half
truth at best. To secure the community's cooperation at the time, ARIN
repeatedly promised that it would not apply any new policies to the
legacy registrations absent the legacy registrants' consent. We can
both find the aspirational documents surrounding ARIN's creation but
the legal documents at no point transfer to ARIN the authority to
alter the preceding grants.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
