Am I the only one who can't pay their fees ?

I found the page:

https://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/regpayment

and entered my details.

I got error for both the invoice number and my e-mail address. Double
checked both.

Are people implementing these systems truly that poor that
'peter.galbavy at knowtion.net' comes back as an invalid e-mail address ? And
if the online payment system was implemented after my invoice was issued
then the correct UI thing to do is to say 'sorry, payment for this invoice
is not available via this page, please contact the NCC' etc.

I am getting pissed off now for two reasons - one, as far as RIPE is
concerned this appears to be 100% mny fault and two, they build systems that
have never appeared to have been tested.

I saved to HTML output for any interested...

Peter
