to be honest, RIPE is providing a really good job to the community. There
are always reasons for faults, especially when human beings are involved :-)

If something happens with the Database, there was no loss of data in the
past
years and if you submit a mail to RIPE it will be processed even if there
is an outage. So you can trust on RIPE.

If i compare the service of RIPE with other organisations we _have_ to work
with, the service of RIPE NCC is nearly unbeatable.
If you send an email to internic or denic you cant be sure that the mail
will
be processed and you must check every mail if it is processed or not and
in case of faults nobody sends email like RIPE, that the service is
interrupted
and all mails will be queued.

Even the desaster from this french-guy who deleted huge amounts of handles,
took only one day for RIPE to present the tracking data to the community.

So there are other organisations to blame before we start with RIPE - we
think they are doing a really good job for all of us

just my 0.02
