After fielding plenty of offlist mail - I'm sorry that my tongue in
cheek comments caused some raised eyebrows; it was a non-serious
suggestion for how the RIRs could spend an imaginary windfall, not a
comment that they spend too much on socials. I recognise the value of
conferencing, and the importance of injecting some socials at
conference events since it's really good opportunity for delegates to
spend time talking to others in the industry.
