I strongly support the proposal and the ideas behind. All other ways
of searching RIPE databases (like the now gone (?) experimental search:
http://lab.db.ripe.net/whois/use-cases/abuse-finder.xml?source=ripe&primary-key=%s
) led to too many false positives (wrongly assigned email-adresses) or ended up
in empty queries.

I am adding now the results of
http://apps.db.ripe.net/whois/use-cases/abuse-finder.xml?primary-key=%s
to my scripts but still use the results with care.
Hopefully this url will stay longer :-)

And just for the topic: we can be happy if there is at least *one* required
anti-abuse email-address someone can find where he can send his complaints
to. I do not see a need for splitting automatic and manual reports on the sender-side.
The sender had trouble enough which was causing him/her to write a
complaint at all; so let's make it as easy as possible for the victim.


best greetings,
Gunther
