Re: questions about ARIN ipv6 allocation

I can't imagine, as a percentage, a significant amount of voting ARIN members give a crap about what happens with 
legacy resources.

And yet you have people reporting that ARIN's fee schedule offers 
dissuasion for their deployments of IPv6. Right here in this email 
thread. How can that be? 

Don't gaslight us John. Seriously, it's not cool. ARIN fees make IPv6 
registration a neutral prospect for only a fraction of its 
registrants. You've presented something as broadly true that isn't. 
Those of us for whom your claim is false don't appreciate the 
insinuation that we've misrepresented ARIN's behavior.
