Two things:

1) you'll get better uptake of your graph if it's visible as a simple
     image, rather than requiring a PDF download.  :/
Not wishing to advertise google but

http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.tndh.net/~tony/ietf/IPv4-
rir-pools.pdf
and
http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.tndh.net/~tony/ietf/IPv4-
rir-pools-zoom.pdf


works for me without needing to download a pdf viewer

For some reason that viewer didn't work here, so I added jpg's to the site.

2) labelling the Y axis would help; I'm not sure what the scale
of 1-8 represents, unless it's perhaps the number of slices of
pizza consumed per staff member per address allocation request?

I thought about leaving it off completely, but figured I would be asked for
scale. It is /8's remaining until they drop into their 'last allocation'
policy. I will see if I can figure out how to fit that into something
readable. 



But I do agree with what seems to be your driving message, which
is that Geoff could potentially be considered "optimistic".  ^_^;

Geoff has always been the optimist ...  ;0
