Dear Paschal,

As I have explicitly stated before, I do not agree with personal attacks 
against anyone with differing opinions. It is clear that there are still 
community members who have information pertinent to this thread that the 
community should know about (IMHO).

Given what is at stake, and with all due respect to the AFRINIC COMMS team, If 
that earns me a slap on the wrist (not the face :) ), then so be it.

Regards,
Daniel
