Well I have a CISSP to go along with my advanced degrees in physics and computer science. 
Maybe if I went to your school I would have learnt more.  However, I would have thought
you would have learnt not to use the race card when you are in an argument.  It is not about
race or regions of the world as ICANN does the same thing here in the USA.

>I'm not sure if anyone has noticed but this is the *anti* abuse

Right.  My point is that the people claiming to be "anti-abuse" are actually abusers themselves.
If you lie and mislead people that is "abuse" even if the stated goal is "anti-abuse."  People involved
with anti-abuse often think the rules don't apply to them because they are on some kind of "mission
from god" to find the "holy grail."  I do have a video that shows what it is like dealing with RIPE NCC
over this whois blocking issue:

Time to stop these RIPE NCC abusers from disrupting the whois system  and access to abuse contacts
That is the system paid for by USA taxpayers and not the RIPE members who are disrupting it.

Thank You
