Hi all,

fixed that I am against abuses. I think we have to keep in mind that RIPE task is resource distribution not holding them in a drawer.

task: distribute resources. ARIN has almost reached the task don't you think?

Without acknowledging your interpretation of "distributing resources", I would like to point out that when ARIN in a very short time no longer has any of these resources to distribute, they will, _forever_, fail to do their task, while RIPE still will carry out that task.

So if we accepted your premise that that is _The Task_, RIPE will be performing the task better than ARIN, and not vice versa.
