Thank you Interop - for performing an outstanding act of altruism.

John, could you provide more details at this stage on how much address space
was returned to ARIN?

less than 3 months supply at the going drain rate.

Not to be depressing, but a /8 (or 99% of one :-) is potentially less
than one month's drain on the global IPv4 free pool, if one considers 
the allocations over the last 12 months to be predictive.
