[members-discuss] My Question To All LIR Members

That thought was kind of pointless after they refused to help. I've 
spent hours on their site manually updating all of their inaccuracies 
over the past few years. From one month to the next they can screw up 
entire ranges with their monthly updates. My networks do not run proxies 
period. I run vpn services and remote desktops, but never proxies. And 
vpn services cannot be classified the same as open proxies as they are 
totally different.
