Your interpretation of "conspiratorial" is completely outside the realm of your initial statement that I had a problem with foreign hosts in InterNIC. The words you quoted also don't support your opening assertion. Please look up "relevant" in the dictionary. 2. Conspiracy requires two or more persons to engage in an activity together. My point was that the person who registered youwant.to lied to InterNIC. One person cannot be a conspiracy. Please look up "conspiracy" in the dictionary. 3. Do you register domains you host as domain.av8.com? If so, please go re-read the RFCs to see how to properly list a hosted domain. The registration was not that of a proper domain, nor is it hosted by Host.net as the registration claimed. > >>>Dean Robb: >>>So....four days ago, youwant.to [side issue: Why does a machine, >>>"perhaps", have a host entry in WhoIs, but the domain, "youwant.to" not?] >>>updated their WhoIs record with a bunch of lies.

I should have looked at the web page. I am >wrong about them not having a whois page. 1. Untrustworthy? Somehow, I don't think that's the word you were looking for. Sadly, there's no way to know what word you were looking for as the point was that the registration was in the standard form for a machine name, not a domain name and you didn't dispute that. > >The correct answer, is that the Internic is not, can not, and will not do >anything about it until they are asked by someone authoritative. And you >aren't that. Look for conspiracies where you will. 1. Please, Oliver Stone, Jr....quit talking of conspiracies. The only conspiracy around here is your determination to use the word as often as possible. InterNIC...and any other registry or network operator...should investigate ANY report of a problem. There is no RFC, statutory nor intelligent reason that the reporter need be "someone authoritative". 2. Assuming that for some reason unknown, a reporter of a problem must be "authoritative"...who would qualify? A system administrator? A sysadmin with over 100 systems? CEO of an ISP? 3. You know nothing of my qualifications, job or anything else. How do you know I'm *not* authoritative? 4. In fact, InterNIC DID remove the domain. Apparently, someone hijacked the name when he registered with InterNIC from the REAL youwant.to owner for reasons unknown. Apparently, NSI doesn't agree with your stance. >>net.abusers trying to avoid identification.

Thats pretty strong "correct" information. >Anyway, there is not a real database on the planet that has entirely >correct information.

How does "paid" equal "correct information"? That's probably the most illogical, of many, thing you've said. 2. Do you assert that because no database has entirely correct information that no effort should be made to clean up the WhoIs database? 3. In this case, it is a fairly minor issue. However, it exemplifies a major problem: false information in InterNIC registrations that NSI refuses to do anything about. I note that you fail to address that issue...the whole point...the problem...in any manner whatsoever. > >>As for nothing InterNIC or NANOG can do: It is NSI's job to administer the >>database. > >Several people have said this. I've said it several times: Its Tonic's >database, not Internics. Being such a simple concept, nothing more really >needs to be said. 1. Please...try to keep up here. The false information is in WhoIs, the InterNIC database administered by Network Solutions, Inc, found at http://rs.internic.net/cgi-bin/whois. Being such a simple concept, surely you can understand that. > >Second, and several people have also confirmed this as well, the incorrect >host record may be just innocently incorrect. It's not your concern. Its >not nanogs concern. In fact, Internic can't tell whether the real owner of >perhaps.youwant.to owns that ip address or not. If they don't own it, they >can complain to Internic about it. But you can't. It doesn't belong to you. 1. Of course it's perfectly innocent! The registrant accidently typed in the correct IP of another network, one that he is *not* hosted on, along with it's name. Perfectly understandable accident. 2. I'll type it slowly: if the domain is not at the IP address listed, and if it's not hosted by the listed DNS servers, then it's a pretty safe bet that they don't own the listed IP. 3. Ah, I see. Using your logic, then, only a police officer should report a crime; only a firefighter should own a fire extinguisher; only a domain owner should talk to InterNIC. Really, Dean...http://ds.internic.net/ds/dspg1intdoc.html. For someone so gung-ho on the rights of people, you sure seem convinced that I don't have a right to complain. > >There is no conspiracy to conceal information. There is no conspiracy by >Internic to enable hijacking domains and populate their database with >incorrect information. Whoever said there was? Large numbers of net abusers (including [gasp!] spammers) falsify their registrations. InterNIC isn't part of any conspiracy, they just don't enforce their contract nor do they properly administer their database. What is your fascination with conspiracies? > >This is a good example of anti-spammer terrorism. Mr. Robb here appears to >encourage annoying or hate mails to a private account, and slander me with >hate mail. I rarely send mail from that account, and never publicly. It >must have taken some research for Mr. Robb to find that address. This, in >fact, is inappropriate behavior. Ah, a fine example of how anyone who doesn't agree with you is an "anti-spammer terrorist". I'm merely trying to clarify at which of your public addresses you want people to contact you. Please, do tame that jerking knee. No one said "slander", "flame" or anything else. As for the "research", YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND A LIAR. The "research" I did? I visited your website: http://www.av8.com. I visited a page on your website: http://www.av8.com/H.4581/how.html. I read a sentence near the bottom of the page: "I began my consulting service using an account on "world.std.com", which I still have (I'm [email protected]). I sent out email to customers, and potential customers of my services." By your own admission, you send unsolicited commercial email from that account. Since you elsewhere indicate that address harvesting is appropriate behavior, then what have I done wrong? > >I have to question whether its appropriate for Mr. Robb to be on the Nanog >list. Sorry. You don't own the list, you can't complain. Your logic, sir...and your petard. [snip] >Indeed, he is one of the innocent victims of anti-spammer terrorism. He has >suffered through bonafide denial of service attacks, unable to get the >FBI's attention, because they seem to involve spam, and 99% of all spam >complaints are frivolous Now, provide some real facts, please. Where do you get your percentages? What qualifies a complaint as "frivolous"? Explain why Mr. Shein was unable to pick up the phone and call the FBI. Your assertion is also illogical...if Mr. Shein was an innocent victim, why is he an active anti-spam activist (oh, redundancy!). My dear Mr. Anderson...you have an axe to grind, and fact/reality won't sway you. You also can't argue logically, as the above proves. Since you have proven yourself a fool, and I have no time for fools, I'll not respond to any further silly things you want to say. The questions posed are rhetorical, left as an exercise for the reader in determining the validity of your statements. Spam: it's not just for breakfast anymore....
