Step 1. Document the whole process in excruciating detail complete with
        anecdotes.

Step 2. Refer everyone to this document

I'm on a half dozen ISP mailing lists and we often get questions from new
ISP's who obviously don't understand what they are doing. No matter what
the topic of the question, there is always one and the same answer.

     Go to http://www.amazing.com/internet and read the FAQ
     and other information there.

The FAQ and other resources at that site manage to get new ISP's up to
speed so that they can join in a more intelligent level of discussion.

Where is the SWIP/rwhois/IP allocation FAQ?
