Steinar,

I think this is bigger than anti-spam logic.  Simply put: Customers
pay for the Internet.  If customers want to "tag" an IPv6 block as
their own as they do with IPv4, why can't they?  Please don't
answer me as if I am a peer, answer as if I am a paying customer
asking "why not?"

Simply deciding a request is silly (even with peer support) won't
make it go away, it will only make your _problem_ become a source
of _revenue_for_your_competitor_ and eventually putting you behind
what _everyone_else_is_already_doing_.

Just my $.02


Regards,
John
