Correction to your recount of the article:

You do NOT block IP's 12.158.80.10 - 64.94.110.11.
You block just the two IPs of 12.158.80.10 and 64.94.110.11.

Vanguard,
Had I been wanting to suggest blocking an entire IP "range"
as you interpret my post, I would have clearly indicated that.

"These" IP's being 12.158.80.10
64.94.110.11
Just the two only ~
 
You did specify a range because you used a hyphen between the IP
addresses. That's how a range is specified in English. Also, since a
range is specified then the plural "these" is still appropriate. Also,
when sending the same post to multiple newsgroups (in your case,
alt.privacy.spyware and
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser), please cross-post
instead of issuing a disconnected post in each newsgroup. This keeps
the discussion tied together across the newsgroups. You figured it was
appropriate to post here your message but it is a separate post so all
the discussions that got added to thread in the other newsgroup(s) do
not also appear in this newsgroup.

Don't get too upset with mention of the typos; they were noted by me and
others just to make sure newbies didn't get caught making incorrect
actions. Your input is appreciated and helps other users in
circumventing Verisign's violation of trust. Thanks.
