And who on earth are *you* to tell *me* what *my* experience with ARIN
has been.
I *have* had a nightmare of a time getting anyone from ARIN on the phone
in the past, and for you to say that you haven't doesn't invalidate my
experiences. Perhaps I haven't found the same phone numbers that you
have or something, but my experience has been that I have *always* had a
hard time getting anyone from ARIN on the phone...shoot...first time I
wanted to try, I couldn't even find a phone number on their web site to
even *attempt* it...this has since changed, but ARIN does have a history
of being *extremely* difficult to deal with. It seems they are
attempting to improve this.
They needed to.
