No, this is the european list and we're all frightfully sensible over here. 
  Not a single black helicopter in sight.  Must be something they put in 
the water.

I ought to inject content at this point, but the topic is perilously close 
to a committee discussion on potential future deck-chair arrangements. So, 
instead I'd like to give a "me too" to Peter Koch's contribution:

We have already asked the important question "what are we trying to do?", 
to which "find a fair solution for doling out the last /8".

As Peter and others have suggested, we cannot hope to find this "fairness" 
ideal unless we have a yardstick with which to measure it.
