Folks, ( for a moment wearing my hat as RIPE-DB chair ) I'm asking all of you to try to have an educated discussion of DB problems, proposals for changes and proposed solutions. Discussions about history, the relative merits(?) of spam and/or legal aspects is - I think - outside the scope of this mailing list. Please move to the appropriate fora to tackle these issues. Thank you very much for listening.
