[ppml] Posting of Legacy RSA and FAQ

I don't believe I ever said they couldn't be a member of more than one
registrar.  What I did say is that any netblock should not be advertised
from more than one registrar.  That would create synchronization and
authority problems in any database. 

I think everyone welcomes any IP address holder to ARIN.
