[members-discuss] Cogent uses RIPE DB for spam

Valerii,

RIPE DB contains actual information NOT for marketing purposes but to
provide possibility to contact IP administrator/ tech and resolve any
issues. In case of mass usage DB information for marketing purposes end
users will try to hide/limit actual infromation in RIPE DB.
