Interesting. The allocation approval was never mailed to me, the block
isn't visible in WHOIS, and I haven't rec'd an invoice.

If you would check my original mail, I didn't claim 'rude'; the 'why are
you bothering me' was more of an air of inattentiveness, timelyness (sp?),
etc. I mean, the question still stands; why does it take 48 to 72 hours to
get a response when sending responses to ARINs qualification requests?

Maybe from your prospective, when you have the policy book in your hand or
memorized. But, things are way different from ours (and I am sure others).
