I've even considered it, especially when one of my local competitors has a /18, and they are much smaller than we are.
Isn't it wonderful how being a good netizen allows your less-picky competitors to get a leg-up on you? Say what<!?!>, they're smaller than you and have an /18? How did that happen?
The owner is creative, litigious, and of a different mindset. I've been 'online' since the mid-80's (I'm OLD ok?) and think a little differently.
However, it kinda makes you wish that you hadn't NAT'd doesn't it? Then, you'd have less of a problem qualifying for the /19.
My whole life, I've been mildly penalized for doing the right thing. I sleep well and am still the principal of a business I have owned since 1989 with mostly happy customers. Can you ask for more? I've been impressed by the responses.. wish I had made Nanog21 in Atlanta, maybe I can make Arizona and meet ya'll. --Mike--
