As dues paying members, I think it is our business how ARIN runs their

Try telling ARIN in your next IP request that you need gobs of IP space
because you just bought a whole bunch of surplus routers that don't
understand classless routing...i.e. you can't subnet.  I bet you lunch
that wouldn't fly.

I was going to say I can't even see a bunch of the front page, but I see
they did massage their HTML such that Opera on Linux can now render it
properly.

I still say it would be best to not waste time/money on a flashy new site.
The site looks great...but at what cost?
