Great, we second your point. But consider the following
possible scenario:
You ask RIPE for service and all of a sudden they politely
direct you to Moscow -- "*that* RIR is yours since mid-1998".
"Wow!" -- you say -- "but I didn't ask them to care of me! and
I didn't even agree to delegate them any right to do so!
I want a freedom of choice between two services at least!"
"Keep calm man!" -- you get back -- "that's how European
democracy works. If you were silent during all that
discussion before the decision, and the only ones who were
shouting actively were the Moscow guys -- we decided that
you just neither care, nor have any negative objections;
so this is equal as if you voted `YES', so man, to Moscow is
your way!"
Best regards,
