I am new to personally dealing with ARIN as of 1.5 years
ago.  I have had to get 5 seperate allocations in that time.
 I don't find this to be the case at all.  They were very
helpful and I was diligent in getting the things together
necessary for the allocations and in my responses.  It felt
to me like teamwork rather than me against them.

And, no, I didn't have to offer anyone free trips to Hawaii.
