You certainly wouldn't be the first to so argue, and I guarantee you wouldn't be the last. My point is if you don't say something on the PPML then you will be depriving the Internet community in the ARIN region of your insight and technical expertise, a case in which everyone stands to lose -- you and the ARIN community. As far as the other RIR communities are concerned, persons in all 5 RIR service regions tend to be observant of the discussions in each other's community, so you would be reaching more than just ARIN.
