You won't probably find out who cleans >their toilets but that is not what I meant. I quoted you word for word. You said we could find out ALL information and ALL business relationships, just by perusing the RIPE data base. If you didn't mean it, why did you say it? And I was really hoping for a minute there that that was actually true! I was hoping that you could dive in and tell me who all of Volkswagen's firmware contractors are. :-) > >>>...
