I don't want to change anything, I just want to get my site unblocked from RIPE. ARIN has agreed that I have a legit need and has removed all blocks. After 13 years RIPE suddenly blocked me and will not remove the block no matter what explanation I give and they won't answer my questions. They just tell me I have to change my queries to include a "-r" I am in contact with the software vendor and I am trying to get something done but I had no prior notice. I am getting complaints and the following I have built up over 13 years is being lost. Even if I can include the "-r" the abuse contact will no longer show up and people are going to leave my site anyway. This is a major disaster for me and I cannot get any of my questions answered from RIPE or ICANN/IANA. They couldn't care less. >> As for passing through the IP of the requesters of the whois records I >> have asked about this several times.
