You're right, and I now have to hang my head in shame, not only because I was wrong about the exact status of this company in official California records, but also because I'm embarassed that my own home state of California, in its infinite wisdom, has apparently elected to allow companies that fail to meet their legal obligations to the state to continue to exist in this sort-of goofy (but apparently reversable) zombie "suspended" state for as long as ten years or longer. (I will be having a word or two about this with my State Senator and my State Representative.) Other states, e.g. Colorado and others, do in fact take binding and irreversable legal action against companies that fail in their minimal obligations to their home states, but not California. Given that sad fact, I have to agree that there are serious limitations on what ARIN can do or may do with respect to the perennial zombie that is Centauri Communications and/or any other such zombie corporate entities that are similarly situated. That all having been said, I think that I still do have a valid point in saying that the community and/or the management could, if either wished to do so, reclaim resources from entities that have indeed been fully, irreversably, and legally dissolved.
