how do you know that {VERIFIED.IS} is not some law enforcement effort at entrapment of criminals?

Along similar lines, I feel compelled to point out that we also cannot be entirely certain that VERIFIED.IS is not in fact being operated by super-intelligent aliens from some higher dimension. It is really hard to prove a negative.

I, for one, am willing to let anybody say anything they want, any time, within reason. I do object however to sanding idly by and allowing crooks to defraud RIPE of its limited resources. And so should all other RIPE members. That is not free speech. It is just crime. (There _is_ a difference between those two things, even if some would prefer not to apprehend it.) Regards, rfg
