No, it's kind of like asking the DMV whether the car belongs to the thief
or to someone else.  They keep the records for Christ's sake!  They *can*
take a position on that rudumentary, simple, and basic question, and they
should.  And that is all I ask or expect them to do.  But they don't
even want to do that miniscule amount of work, apparently.  They want to
be the Keeper of the Records, but then they want to roll over and play
dead, or ignorant, or agnostic, whenever somebody has the temerrity to
simply ask them what the f**king records they are keeping *mean* about
who actually owns what.

I already said it, but I'll say it again for the benefit of those with
low reading comprehension.  Nobody is asking ARIN to go out, with guns
drawn, and pull the plug themselves.  But they can and should take a
position on who owns what.  That is a judicial function, not a police
function.  If you don't understand the distinction, then you are dumber
than you think I think you are.

...

    Are you suggesting that ARIN does _NOT_ publish data or that 
    ARIN doesn't keep the data current, or something else?

I already said what I meant, twice, and quite clearly, I think.

If you don't get it after two repetitions, then I doubt that me trying
to rephrase it yet a third time is going to help your comprehension any.

        Ok... thanks for the favor of your reply.
