Recent Mails to the list

Dear Sirs,

it seems that RIPE NCC has adopted a spamming policy.......

Could you (all of you) please stop filling our mailboxes with such crap?

Do I really need to remember you the meaning of words like "respect",
"customers", "service fee", etc.

Stop it and stop it IMMEDIATELY!

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Costantino Imbrauglio
