I'm happy to be proven wrong, and see RIPE's /12 exhausted in 250 years,
instead of 2500 years.  After all, "using up IPv6" is not our largest current
problem, "*not* using IPv6" is.

Then please don't make the exhaustion such a focal topic of your posts.

I think we perfectly agree that *criminals* should have taken their
address space away, and that's what the NCC does.  Now, "criminals" - and
this is where we know to disagree - are not folks that send e-mails that
other folks do not like, but folks where an instrument of the law has
decided "they are criminals" (LEOs or courts).

Fake registration data in itself is also enough to withdraw resources
by the RIPE NCC (but it's not always obvious at registration time that
a working postal address, telephon number, etc. are fake).
