Re: Removal of IP

[Sunday Folayan <sfolayan at skannet.com.ng>]

Unfortunately, we live in a region of the world that is not of priority to
the code warriors that matter. I also have not seen a nerd or geek that
fell victim to the scams (They are just too intelligent) this means that
we would have to wait a while, as most people will just blacklist the IP
of offending ISPs.

Perhaps this issue as well as that of BGP multihop over simplex links will
both form good panel discussions at this year's afnog meeting. What do
others think?

Regards ...

Sunday.
