ARIN's job (well, beyond the world travel, publishing comic books, handing out raffle prizes, etc.) is to allocate and 
register addresses according to community-defined documented policies. I had thought new allocations are based on 
demonstrated need. The fact that addresses are in use would seem to suggest they're needed. As I've said, I haven't 
been following ARIN's policy discussions -- can you point me to the policy that says allocations can be denied because 
you happened to have (demonstrably ill-advisedly) used the wrong bit patterns in setting up your network?

Thanks,
