Is ARIN's Job Easy ?

Hmm, wow, an email I sent almost a year ago.  (I know, if I happened to
change my mind over the course of the past year, I am obviously part of the
EvilInternetCabal(tm)).

That being said...  You are once again pulling things out of context (I was
/wondering/ why I said that).  Congratulations on another successful job of
obfuscating meaning.  The full post is included below, and I believe that
you can see from the context that I was talking about submitting IP
allocation requests, not the act of checking the allocations.  Once again,
nice try Jim, do you care to try again?
