However, take a look at the amount of information you get from the
whois database for the IP address that sent your email to me:

That's not very much info, and it isn't very obvious to me how to

Ok, I somewhat fibbed. I knew how to get some of the contact info.
If you read "whois -h whois.arin.net \?", you see that you have a lot
more options that you think. Try the following: "whois +208.58.1.195".
The "+" will expand both net-blocks automatically, instead of just
showing the summary.
I did *not*, however, know about the + option to whois. I used to use
some web based tools and such. Thanks!
