OK, so I'm trying to helpfully take the survey, but... Right away I hit a snag, probably caused by my own geeky but strong tendencies to (a) take everything literally and (b) make everything that is simple complicated (by over-thinking everything). The survey asks if I am happy with "RIPE Database". Is that in reference ONLY to the web-based interface to that? Because I don't use the web interface at all, preferring to use traditional port 43 queries instead. On rare occasions when I want/need to show some Windows weenie something in the WHOIS, I *do* direct *them* to use the web based interface... because that's one hell of a lot simpler than trying to explain to them how to use telnet to port 43... but other than that, I never even use the web interface. So should I just vote "N/A" on that question, even though I am mostly happy with what I can get from the traditional port 43 interface? Regards, rfg
