Only because that's where we've looked. We haven't examined what's happened to the address blocks allocated in the couple years prior to when the waiting list was activated. Nor have we looked at what's happened to address blocks transferred and then quickly retransferred.

If we go this route, then when more or less the same total quantity of fraud moves to /22, I promise to say I told you so. The situation calls for a proactive solution. You don't thwart a hacker by taking away the lowest of the low hanging fruit and expecting that's good enough. It doesn't work. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................
