if aol is not worried enough to tell us an address to ping, perhaps
you can see why we prospective pingers are not getting our undies
in a knot.  and, to carry it a step further, one might then infer
why arin has not seen it as a priority.  i suspect this discussion
will change the latter.  dunno what will change the former.

damaged?  so you will do your bit to undamage unused ip space by
not bogon filtering on your network?
