i shouldnt do that.....

InterNIC has reserved certain IP addresses as private addresses for use with internal web sites or intranets.
These addresses are not routable on the public Internet, but are meant for devices that reside behind a router or other Network Address Translation (NAT) device or proxy server.
Private IP addresses are used either to hide systems from the public Internet or to provide an additional range of addresses to organizations that do not have sufficient public IP addresses to distribute on their network. Organizations can use these numbers to assign internal IP addresses without having to worry about an IP address conflict or having to obtain a new block of IP addresses.

So when people contact me with the old invalid ip reason why they can't access the site and I need to delete a range are you saying these people shouldn't be on these ip's? because many are large isp's.
