Hi! I haven't had time to read the messages, flames, sarcasm, etc. on the strong stand and reaction to another rebirth of the ZOA movement to control all old Class C ( now called /24 space ). However, based on names like Vixie, and our difference in opinion on this matter, and Paul's continued support of 'world IP address space domination', I think I can guess what he is saying (or flaming) without reading alll messages. Instead of the term 'toxic waste dump' being applied to the historically significant /24 space before provider based address domination. I prefer the term: IP Address Space of the Free Internet Citizens better know as.......... THE NEUTRAL ZONE Even the Romulans and the Federation have a Neutral Zone. I suggest we learn from the brillant mind of Roddenbury and avoid trying to dominate the 'neutral zone'. Best Regards, Tim PS: I'm away from my linux children on travel for a few days and will have to respond to the flamage on this controversial subject in a delayed fashion. However, it is my hope that the ZOAs find something more constructive to do besides assault the neutral zone. Despite their rhetoric, they will fail and their efforts will destablize the net.
