[anti-abuse-wg] Verification of abuse contact addresses ?

Hi

I'm fairly new here. This is a formidable task, and not easily achieved.
So kudos to RIPE for doing this. The abuse contacts already there helped
me a lot.

I don't appreciate people who can't even stand up with their real names,
just pointing out that others are lame.

We make this a better world by helping with advice that empowers, not
with diminish comments.

Cheers
Serge
