hi frank,

if you are writing to afrinic staff, then, this is the incorrect place for this message.  i can’t help you with staff aliases;  most of the mail i send, gets ignored these days ..

if you are proposing a change to the db structure, then this is the correct place.
are you proposing a change to the db, where afrinic should disallow [x] ?

if so, please send unambiguous text  ;-)
