If anyone else wants to speak up then do. If not ill shut up and never<br>

Your attitude of 'restricting and policing IP's' won't change a thing<br>
is the exact reason we are in this position.<br>
<br>
If people were conservative with space, use carrier grade NAT and<br>
actually assigned IP's as per policy them you and I would not be<br>
