See, since I emailed this - RIPE wants feedback and sent me an email offlist! I'll gladly give them an earful about how RIPE address ranges are starting to be notorious for abuse due to lack of valid WHOIS information and lack of response from so-called abuse departments. I would like to thank Mr. Herrin for his input because he is completely right now. With the Protect IP Act lurking in Congress, would you rather have the Dept of Justice mandate URL blocking of DNS or would you continue to enjoy the freedom we have right now between companies, professionals and everybody else without the government's blind mandate on everything. I would rather have all of us call the shots and work in cooperation than a lobbyist or special interest buying the vote of a politician to have some Chinese / totalitarian control of the Internet. Mr. Pittcock, I was point out that I've had providers in the past automatically respond to abuse complaint but do nothing and in this instance, an abuse complaint just goes 100% unnoticed. It was not meant to be taken literally. Thanks, -C
