Beste Fuzzel,

Mijn naam is Paul. It was at the bottom of my posting.

Sorry I have never ever had a Hotmail account. I prefer to use
nanog at u61.u22.net for this list. I really do not want to set-up another
email account for your personal benefit.

No I am not.  A basic WHOIS enquiry is what I was writing about.

Primarily IP ranges to block and/or abuse email addresses.

The ARIN web page http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-ppml
states

	Your name (optional):

The 'old country' sounds a bit South African to me. I'm European and
English.

Groet in Dutch or Greetings in English.

Have a nice day.

Always Learning, hopefully until I die.
