Would that be the list I've tried to subscribe to multiple times, get an 
autoresponder that it has to be approved, and then never hear a word?

Except it's listed as no input from ARIN itself?

I can't get subscribed, so, :P

I also haven't seen on the website pointers for where different tools

Perhaps it's just my website navigation skills. However, as I said
