Hello...I'm using *more* than a /20 right *now*. If I had 100%
efficient utilization of the IP addresses that we're using *today* I
couldn't fit into just a /20. I can't come up with *any* logic that
would make sense to renumber into a /20. This information was clearly
spelled out on our application. If the folks at ARIN are too dense to
add a few numbers together, you'd think they'd at least drop us an email
or a phone call and ask a question or two! Sheesh! There is *NO*
excuse for ARIN here, what they've done with us has *NO* rational
explanation.
