What exactly are we giving us rules for, if violations are just shrugged off with "oh, don't bother, just one more mail, who cares"? There are very clear terms & conditions for use of data in the RIPE DB, and *no* sort of commercial solicitation is permitted. So, shall we just stop having terms & conditions at all, because nobody cares whether they are respected or not? "He's such a cute boy, he certainly did not mean harm" - which is totally not relevant. (Note: I'm speaking as a long term LIR contact here, member of the community. No particular hats, otherwise I would point that out) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
