Hi Mike,

I am absolutely sorry if my tone or approach about geofeed came across that way. We do ingest and respect geofeed. 
Active measurements act as an enhancement and extension of geofeed when it comes to three factors: verification, 
accuracy, and granularity.

If your geofeed is more granular than our data, of course we will ingest it. That is why I am here. You should check 
your data with us. And if you see that us choosing your geofeed over our active measurement will yield better results, 
just tell our support, please. We will prioritize it.

You are generously dedicating your time to helping us, and we are not ignoring you. Just help us here by checking your 
data and contacting support if improvements are possible, please. Active measurement is not a foolproof system; you 
need to help us get there when it fails. 

But, ultimately, if you can just allow us to host a server with you, that will help us even more:

Allowing us to host a server with you will always guarantee data accuracy. Thank you very much. Again, I apologize for 
my tone and approach.
