<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Blake,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>How many times have I been accused of shirking
stewardship, or abandoning it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have asked that posters refrain from that
flammable language, but yet it persists.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There was also Owen's point about not making policy
for personal reasons, only for the good of the community.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I read that as an elliptical personal attack, and
consistent with his attempt to paint me as a poor steward and as somebody who is
trying to make policy for selfish and not community reasons.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Nonetheless, I see your point and apologize for my
personal attacks and resolve to end them and not try to yell louder and sling
mud.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Regards,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As to Microsoft planning leading them to
purchasing the same exact need as ARIN's particular application of its
policies at the time of the transaction?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Remember that Microsoft was an arms-length
negotiator who was solicited by the address broker in the deal along with 80
other companies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So Microsoft's planning was so excellent that
they could find the exact amount of addresses they needed in the form of the
very first public sale of legacy addresses ever recorded?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That's believable!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And their excellent planning staff, whose
decision so exactly matched ARIN's ex-post-facto analysis, failed to inform
management that they could save $7.5 million by getting them directly from
ARIN?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR>You were much more persuasive before you started resorting to
personal attacks. I even agree with your goal somewhat, just not the current
plan for getting there, or many of your justifications for such. You will have
much better luck actually listening to others and working with them, instead
of just yelling louder and slinging mud.<BR><BR>As stated however, I strongly
agree with Owen that this current policy is a nightmare for the community as
written.<BR><BR>-Blake<BR></DIV></DIV>
