I originally intended to stay out of this discussion, but I really
can't help it.

What exactly are we giving us rules for, if violations are just shrugged
off with "oh, don't bother, just one more mail, who cares"?

There are very clear terms & conditions for use of data in the RIPE DB,
and *no* sort of commercial solicitation is permitted.

So, shall we just stop having terms & conditions at all, because nobody
cares whether they are respected or not?  "He's such a cute boy, he
certainly did not mean harm" - which is totally not relevant.

(Note: I'm speaking as a long term LIR contact here, member of the 
community.  No particular hats, otherwise I would point that out)
