Grrr, I hate when I do that. I spent quite a bit of time on this post, and the one time I remembered that I needed to go back and double-check what I wrote there I wasn't at the keyboard. Thanks for keeping me honest. There was one other thing you wrote that I wanted to clarify, you indicated that I was arguing for ISPs to only get one shot at an IPv6 allocation. Since my post was already really long I chose to leave out the bit about how (TMK, which could be outdated) the RIRs are reserving a bit or two for their allocations to ISPs so going back and expanding should be an easy thing to do. On a personal note, I hope that we DO need to expand IPv6 allocations to ISPs as this thing finally gets deployed. I'm not responding to the rest of your post because you and I have already had those discussions in person on more than one occasion and I know I'm not going to change your mind. I do think it's extremely gracious of you to say that my post was "well reasoned" though. :) Thanks to the others who had nice things to say as well. Regards, Doug
