Hey Hank,

you are a better sport than that! Good policy comes only by discussion. And despite some e-mail induced friction we all do respect each other. Please stay in the discussion. Especially if it focuses on the registration policy, as it should.

And just as a reminder for those folks younger than Hank and myself, let me quote from the second RIPE NCC Quarterly Report (ripe-73):

"Funding for the first year of operation of the NCC is provided by EARN, the national members of RARE, Israel and EUnet."

The reason Israel is mentioned here, is that Israel's  NREN at the time was not a formal member of RARE; some argument about Israel not being in "Europe"; a problem RIPE never had. If I recall correctly Hank was very active in EARN at the time and certainly also contributed to the Israeli NREN. So one could say that Hank was active in the first funders of the RIPE NCC 20 years ago.
