maybe, but his point was that the evil (evile?) arin would not be putting
their clutches on his ip-address-spaces... Sure he's trading ARIN for RIPE
here, but I diidn't think the RPA bit was his concern as much as the LRSA
and 'now that you agree these are ip blocks are subject to the legacy
registry services agreement, we (arin - with twisty mustasche) might decide
to wrest them away from you!!!<muahahahahaa!>'

I may have misinterpreted his issue, or not completed his unwritten thought
about the RPA.
