Below is the latest reply from RIPE. They claim they cannot verify that I operate the IP address in question. This sounds like a frivolous/ridiculous response to me. I told them to: -Check the ARIN whois, -Type the IP address into their browser and send a message to the contact link and I will respond -Check the domain name whois -Check the business registration in the State where my business is located -Verify with the ISP who is renting me the IP's and completed the ARIN registration Here is RIPE NCC's latest response: I understand that you are concerned about your privacy and that you would like to know details about the number of queries made by this specific IP address. Unfortunately, we are unable to disclose this information to you. We have no way to verify that you were the user of this address. Please be reassured that access to the RIPE Data base is blocked based on query volume within a specific time-frame and nothing else. I'm sorry we are not able to help you further. -- If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Best regards, Andrea Di Menna Customer Services RIPE NCC
