Are you asserting that my points have nothing whatever to do with the RIPE data base? Are you asserting that my points have nothing whatever to do with routing? Does the deliberate pollution of the data base not constitute a type of "abuse" in your opinion?
By that style of argument, you forgot ncc-services-wg, because this is obviously an issue with NCC services. And cooperation-wg because there's a liaison issue going on, and the DNS working group, because the abusers definitely use DNS, and address policy because surely there ought to be policies against this sort of thing? Are you going to argue that there shouldn't be?? And don't forget connect-wg because these routes would never propagate without interconnection. All of which is why there are generally accepted guidelines on the internet about why excessive cross-posting is considered to be anti-social and counter-productive. The rest of your email was too long. I didn't read it. Please, if you are going to post content to a working group, bear in mind that people have neither the time nor the inclination to wade through pages of text, when the entire content of a post could easily be summarised in a couple of lines.
