Hi Bill,

Just pointing out (obscurely, sorry) that your chart accidentally happens
to show points on the scale that appeal to you, and that there are many
more possibilities.  In particular,

Let's make the unexpected leap of faith that the ARIN numbers were based
on someone running the numbers and coming out with a scale that met, to
the best of the their abilities, the stewardship, service, and non-profit
goals we think the ARIN should have.  Then a scale which does not maintain
the bottom line may not work.  So maintaining the endpoint while changing
the slope may not work, and you need to think about the integral.
