Dean, this is so far off topic its not funny.  I am not going to discuss 
this further on NANOG, should you wish to discuss it you are welcome to 
join dnsbl-users at sorbs.net and make your case there (as anyone 
interested is welcome to subscribe and take a look).

My information is that you did not apply for the address space in 
question for AV8, and that you took the address space from your former 
employers when you left by virtue of being the admin and technical 
contact for the netspace.  That information has come from multiple 
reputable sources.  I have repeatedly asked you for proof that you are 
the rightful owner of the netspace, and am still waiting for that proof 
- I'll be happy to delist any Zombie/Hijacked listings as soon as the 
rightful owners have the netspace in their possession and where they 
think they are the rightful owners and the information suggests 
otherwise (your case), a small piece of evidence is required for the 
delisting (eg a copy of a letter from the OSF stating that they gave you 
the netspace as a leaving 'present')

.... and some facts that you seem to be lacking:

SORBS was created by me and I along with 18 other volunteers run it.

Neither Alan nor Kia have anything to do with SORBS (neither past or 
present).

My sites have not been, nor have ever been, booted from XO netspace 
(ns1.sorbs.net and http://www.isux.com/ ).

I have never been a student of The University of Queensland.

Regards,

Matthew

PS: If you reply in NANOG, don't expect a reply from me this is OFF TOPIC!
