[dns-operations] Thanks RIPEstat team (was: Seeking Advice: RIPEstat no longer recognizes my sub-zone...)

[Pirawat WATANAPONGSE]

My heart **and my perpetual gratitude** go out to the entire Operation &
Maintenance team of the RIPEstat Suite for providing us ‘small players’
with such a high-quality toolset that it gives us a survivable chance in
today’s extremely fluid Internet. I used The Suite on a regular basis to
‘go-against-the-entropy’ and to keep our network from falling apart.

At that, I am still mourning over the passing of Berkeley's “Netalyzr”.
That service might be gone, but may God immortalize the whole team.

This is but merely two examples of good Digital Samaritans [in a
non-religious sense]. I personally thought of all of them as equivalent to
the “Doctors Without Borders”.


Pirawat.
