Corporate?

Yes, company ranges. These may be directly assigned or leased from a datacenter/host.

Sorry - try to ignore the ongoing typos you may encounter. I don't always notice them. 90% of my posts are done on mobile, where I use a custom keyboard with a persistent AI spellchecker that seems to change things when I press the Submit button.

AI knows better than you/us. this is what they are made for.

It's not "AI" so much as it is the type of keyboard I'm using.

Anyway, that's a topic for another forum :)
