Hello, listers!

I have detected that some IP addres of obfs3 briges have demasking
WHOIS information. 

For example

obfs3 bridge with IP at range 192.36.31.0 - 192.36.31.255

(there are several bridges; I dont want to publish it at the list but
can send by private messages if somebody wants).

RIPE WhoIs tool at https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html

reports on this address:

I think these whois data and remarks easy can demasking using
of Tor network by ISPs. Also it may cause blocking of bridges IP in
some areas.

194.132.208.0 - 194.132.208.255 IP range has the same problem.

I wrote to Tor developers about this but have no answer received yet.
