We treat all comments from all members with consideration. It is sometimes difficult to work out consensus, but we do our best. As always, a polite comment carries more weight than a rude one. I'm actually rather pleased that we are at last getting some sort of debate. For many years this list was as quiet as the grave.

Its the same case with the oil prices, oil is runnig out and will become more expensive, also situations is different countries (political, natural disasters) affect the oil price. Do you have the same complaint when you fill up your car at the gasstation when the price has gone up?
yes and there have been strikes, blockades and even riots complaining about these price increases (and the 90% tax imposed by Government) ... at the end of the day the politicians seem to ignore these complaints, gloss over them and go back to their heavily subsidised bar with low priced drinks and free transportation ...
Hopefully the board of RIPE will not treat these objections in the same light and will look to find a way of providing the same core services at a reduction in spending rather than at an increase this year / next year..... (and maybe even look at returning some of the reserves to us as members)
