[members-discuss] Surprise on renew fees

Hi all,

(compared the day you fill in the gasoline to your car)

i really do not like these comparisms. Consumed IP-addresses are not irretrievably consumed like fuel is. You can tend to the opinion 'once claimed always claimed', no new monetary assessment. You can also tend to the opinion 'each loaned IP-Range is to be regarded equally, whether newly assigned or assigned years ago'. What i can understand is some members 'feeling', the elder members did some 'protection of establishment'. Grüße aus dem schönen Wesel, Manfred F. Schramm
