Below is the latest reply from RIPE. They claim they cannot verify that I operate the IP address in question.
What is the IP address?
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:
