Interesting. The allocation approval was never mailed to me, the block
isn't visible in WHOIS, and I haven't rec'd an invoice.

If you would check my original mail, I didn't claim 'rude'; the 'why are
you bothering me' was more of an air of inattentiveness, timelyness (sp?),
etc. I mean, the question still stands; why does it take 48 to 72 hours to
get a response when sending responses to ARINs qualification requests?

memorized. But, things are way different from ours (and I am sure others).
