I agree with Chris, this thread has moved from informative to rant/white noise and should be moved somewhere else.
All people involved in this thread, please kindly move it somewhere else.

Yes Chris, it is better that you refrain from whining about bandwidth usage (personal or otherwise) on a public forum when the obvious and simple solution to your problem is to simply unsubscribe. Save the rest of us from your horrific plight...
Webpage? No need for one as we have clearly demonstrated for the past several years. <grin>
/19 allocation? You need to do some more homework.
Fat Pipe? Is that your router or did you settle on the DLink?
Whiny posts like yours deserve to be flamed. The whiny ones like yourself are always first to say they never "stoop" to reply when in fact they are always the first to hit the send button. Your problem, issue or dilemma is simply and easily resolved without a public announcement to the rest of us. Handle it Chris.
Best,
Brad Belton

No Brad, I want to listen to the legitimate dialog on the business of ARIN.
I am entitled to that. I have had my modest allocation since 1994. But the guy who keeps complaining about the ARIN management should just sue if he has been harmed -- instead of burying the relevant messages for the whole group amongst his b.s. This deprives everyone of the use of the group.
I can't believe I even bothered to reply to the flame I almost never do and I apologize. I'm stooping to the level of those characters I am complaining about. And FYI the the high cost is to my "personal bandwidth" to look at the damned messages, not internet bandwidth. I have a fat pipe and plenty of bandwidth for genuine traffic. But this topic is like spam and is not producing any legitimate traffic for the list and I finally snapped. How long have we ARIN list users been subjected to these messages while reading the list in hopes of relevant information?
Brad is your page at www.belwave.com not compatible with Firefox or Safari?
None of the links for "services" or "support" or "references" or "contact us" work. But maybe I have to use Internet Explorer only? I see you have a /19 CIDR, same as me. How much bandwidth do you have? I see the "Network Status" section of your page at www.belwave.com but the source of the page is just static HTML and the green lights that show Belwave.com "Network Status" are just permanently green icons "/greenlight.gif" which are not really connected to any network reporting that I can see.
I have posted the source of your page below where you are "reporting the status" of your North and South Fiber Routes. (I was able to find this with the "view source" command in my browsers when nothing I clicked on went anywhere. I was amazed that my browser could do this, but it is cool
software.)
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" width="99%" id="table40">

I think the problem is that "greenlight.gif" has to actually connect to something or it just sits there green all the time no matter what the www.belwave.com network is connected to. It seems that people who went there thinking they could check the status of belwave.com are led to believe the status is just fine, all green - when actually the greenlight.gif means nothing at all. That seems disingenuous to me or maybe I just don't understand how the html stuff works.
I hate to put such a fine point on it for you Brad but those guys really should take their dispute elsewhere and I am right to complain about it.
Thanks, and now I am sorry that everyone on the list had to listen to me rant, too. I feel better though, just not productive.
Best,

Chris,
With all due respect (if deserving) I suggest you unsubscribe if the few emails generated by this discussion group is taxing your available bandwidth.

I think you folks have lost it. You should just be suing each other. And if there was some grounds (and you were real, mature business people) your lawyers you would never let you communicate this way anyway. Your incessant messages are not directed to the purported purpose of this list. Get another one instead. I subscribed because I simply wanted to understand and monitor what was going on with my ARIN allocation and IP addresses.
Ah! Perhaps you are trying to drive the rest of us away as part of the conspiracy...and what is that "answer under separate cover" nonsense?
That's a smoking gun for sure....
Clearly, you are ridiculous nimrods for wasting so much of everyone's bandwidth with your drivel. You should be censored by the moderators.

there were no indoctrinations. my biggest responsibility was setting policy and my second biggest was making payroll happen. while i hold responsibility for everything done by a MAPS employee, i don't have any control (nor would i want it) of what folks do after they leave my employ. perhaps MAPS was not the kind of company you thought it was, or perhaps the world is not the kind of place you thought it was.

for all i know, scott richter hired peter and kelly with the challenge of "please help me run a more responsible organization". i have no knowledge, but it sounds like you don't either, so maybe you should ask peter and kelly?

i'll answer that under separate cover.

while i don't mind answering questions sent to arin-discuss@ if it'll help the membership determine the character of their trustees, i think that if you want an answer from "the board" or "management" you should direct your inquiries to them by certified letter, perhaps even working through your attorney who might decide to work through ARIN's attorney.
