[Bjarne Carlsen] OK - in other words, you don't even see the small
difference, that I see on this side of the pond..

[Bjarne Carlsen] Yes, but make it somehow easier for them, since
there is one significant difference between private an corporate customers,
(at least as seen from this little backwater), namely that the corporate
customer usually understands the technical jargon used in documents like
RIPE-141 and the private customer invariably says "Huh, er... what is an
IP-address??"
