I have no idea which registry was maintaining AS number registrations when AS42 changed hands. I suppose it's possible the current registrant acquired or merged with whatever entity THINK refers to, but I doubt it, so it seems likely at least at one time transfers were reflected in updated registrations.
I'd be shocked, shocked I tell... oh, yes; put the money over here please. Shocked, I tell you, if that wasn't Thinking Machines Corp., which was formed by MIT grads, as I remember it. The real question is whether it was issued after HHGTTG. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
