The mail before this was apparently not kept, but the relevant part is quoted in Comega's reply. Gene thought that by mailing us the information showing who owns the IP space of our DNS servers, it would somehow intimidate us into removing the material. The implied threat is that he will contact them and complain to have our service halted. If he had a legitimate complaint, he wouldn't have to threaten this.

You going to complain to the networks that provide our DNS over content on this site? That settles it. Have your attorney contact our attorney. I've had it with your idiot crap. (Oh wait...I almost forgot; you claimed you were an attorney last time. Well, just remember Abraham Lincoln's wisdom in that anyone who acts as his own legal representation has a fool for a client.) .c On Sat, 16 Nov 2002, gene black wrote: : attrition.org:66.80.146.7 : : OrgName: MegaPath Networks Inc. : Address: 6691 Owens Drive Pleasanton CA 94588 : : Country: US : : Comment: : : RegDate: : : Updated: 2002-10-09 : : : : AdminHandle: SC388-ARIN : : AdminName: Crandall, Sean : : AdminPhone: +1-925-201-2530 : : AdminEmail: sean[at]megapath.net : : : : : : : 208.37.215.233 : : OrgName: XO Communications : Address: Corporate Headquarters : : 11111 Sunset Hills Road Reston VA 20190-5339 : : Country: US : : Comment: : : RegDate: : : Updated: 2002-11-12 : : : : AbuseHandle: XCNV-ARIN : : AbuseName: XO Communications, Network Violations : : AbusePhone: +1-989-758-6860 : : AbuseEmail: abuse[at]xo.com : : : : : AdminHandle: XCIA-ARIN : : AdminName: XO Communications, IP Administrator : : AdminPhone: +1-703-547-2000 : : AdminEmail: ipadmin[at]eng.xo.com : : : : : TechHandle: XCIA-ARIN : : TechName: XO Communications, IP Administrator : : TechPhone: +1-703-547-2000 : : TechEmail: ipadmin[at]eng.xo.com : : OrgID: XOXO : : NetRange: 208.36.0.0 - 208.37.255.255 : CIDR: 208.36.0.0/15 : NetName: XOXO-BLK-4 : NetHandle: NET-208-36-0-0-1 : Parent: NET-208-0-0-0-0 : NetType: Direct Allocation : NameServer: NAMESERVER1.CONCENTRIC.NET : NameServer: NAMESERVER2.CONCENTRIC.NET : NameServer: NAMESERVER3.CONCENTRIC.NET : NameServer: NAMESERVER.CONCENTRIC.NET : Comment: : RegDate: : Updated: 2002-04-03 : : TechHandle: DIA-ORG-ARIN : TechName: DNS and IP ADMIN : TechPhone: +1-408-817-2800 : TechEmail: hostmaster[at]concentric.net : : : OrgAbuseHandle: XCNV-ARIN : OrgAbuseName: XO Communications, Network Violations : OrgAbusePhone: +1-989-758-6860 : OrgAbuseEmail: abuse[at]xo.com : : : OrgTechHandle: XCIA-ARIN : OrgTechName: XO Communications, IP Administrator : OrgTechPhone: +1-703-547-2000 : OrgTechEmail: ipadmin[at]eng.xo.com : : : : : : 208.201.137.10 : : OrgName: Wizards Keys Corporation : Address: 27 Winchester Dr. Tinton Falls NJ 07724 : : Country: US : : Comment: : : RegDate: 1997-04-16 : : Updated: 1997-04-16 : OrgID: WKC-1 : : NetRange: 208.201.137.0 - 208.201.137.255 : CIDR: 208.201.137.0/24 : NetName: UU-208-201-137 : NetHandle: NET-208-201-137-0-1 : Parent: NET-208-192-0-0-1 : NetType: Reassigned : Comment: : RegDate: 1997-04-16 : Updated: 1997-04-16 : : TechHandle: JK2499-ARIN : TechName: Klein, Jonathan : TechPhone: +1-908-542-7366 : TechEmail: klein[at]wkeys.com
