[ga] Re: [apnic-talk] [Apnic-announce] AfriNIC Moving Closer to Final Recognition as an RIR

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  To even indicate that an RIR has no authority to address or combat
UCE spam is to indirectly support spamers whom are in some instances
terrorist intending do disrupt and confuse stakeholders/users is in effect
supporting such scourge.  You are either part of the solution or part of
the problem.  Hence your remarks and opinion below and I can only
accurately conclude that the opinion of ICANN and the NRO are
supporters/enablers of UCE Spam and terrorists that are also a part
of these swine...
