unfortunately, 'hosed up' only seems to be understood some years out.

smb's point is apt, we always end up too small.

but i still have a very hard time understanding what we are gonna do
with more than a /56 to a consumer connection.

and if i start to go to the left of a /56, where do i stop?  there is no
