Andrew,<br>

Being, as you are, human, the odds are exceptionally high that you will<br>
eventually and inevitably fall ill and die.<br>
<br>
Knowing this, have you properly prepared by investing in a casket for<br>
yourself? If not, and if you have been spending your money on other<br>
things, may we likewise say that you are involved in "reckless trading"?<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
P.S. Of course, I jest. Your situation, and specifically your inevitable<br>
mortality, is not at all comparable to the present situation of AFRINIC.<br>
Like it or not, *you* will most certainly die at some point. AFRINIC?<br>
Maybe not so much. It follows then that any lack of adequate planning<br>
on your part must thus be judged to be a rather worse offense against your<br>
heirs and assigns than any similar lack on the part of AFRINIC.<br>
<br>
AFRINIC may yet possibly not die. You however most certainly will, in the<br>
fullness of time, as will I, and also all those who read these words.<br>
