[members-discuss] why is it proving impossible to gain IP sapce

oh wait, according to the graph

http://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/ipv4-exhaustion/ipv4-available-pool-graph

there should still be some left :P
(which then raises the question why you didn't get it ;)

(not to mention 21,22,26/8 (milnet/dod/etc) and 244 and up (old e-class 
networks)

still... ppl better start working on this "ipv6 thing"...
