[ga] Carrier Trick To Save IPv4 Could Help Spammers

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Kind of a mixed bag here.  On the one hand IPv4 ussage
will remain viable for some time to come, however NAT's 
will be needed to do so effectively and spam filtering
will become more difficult while we get past some gray
usage times durring the roll out of IPv6 which isn't
proceeding as Jim Bunning once predicted and promoted.
