Myspace contact needed

Tue Jul 12 15:53:19 UTC 2011

I finally made contact using the information at 
http://whois.arin.net/rest/poc/NOC11562-ARIN.html  .  We were blocked 
for spamming (but there seemed to be some confusion, as we have 
69.10.192.0/19, and they asked if we had 69.10.0.0/16.  Makes me wonder 
if they lookup the RIR allocated blocks before blocking, or assume a /16
