If they did start expiring unused handles... Mine is used on a SWIP for a netblock which I no longer control, 207.166.196.176/28. I haven't used it for anything else. Was your handle taken off all of the records it used to be on? My handle (sjs5-arin, corresponding to my NetSol handle sjs5) is still active. With incorrect information, of course, and I have to update it, but it's still there. But I am still the POC of record for 207.166.196.176/28. My upstream isn't planning to take me off the SWIP until they reassign the block. :-/ > Question 2: If an account is passworded, how were they able to > take it?

In fact, I was working for the company that is now my upstream at the time, and I just e-mailed the template in, and they threw it into the database. I didn't even PGP-sign it. Keep in mind that this happened at least four or five years ago... -- Steve Sobol, CTO JustThe.net LLC, Mentor On The Lake, OH 888.480.4NET - I do my best work with one of my cockatiels sitting on each shoulder - 6/4/02:A USA TODAY poll found that 80% of Catholics advocated a zero-tolerance stance towards abusive priests. The fact that 20% didn't, scares me...
