Hello Martin, > I noticed my handle was hijacked by a company I used > to work for. There is no match for MH309-ARIN in ARIN WHOIS. > Naturally, I want it back since I went to use it and it's > incorrect. > My old handle, MH309, is now MH569. Since March of 2001 ARIN has removed many POC handles from its database that were no longer associated with registration records. MH309-ARIN is one of the handles that was removed. If you wish to have MH309-ARIN reactivated in place of MH569-ARIN, I would be glad to speak to you about this. Please contact me off this list.
