No worries, and thanks for joining the discussion.

I'm not entirely sure that I understand.  Do you mean accepting only
an IP address as input and not also requiring a date?

My understanding is that users are typically not interested in whether
there's a relay with a given IP address right now but weeks or even
months back in the past.

A big downside of not requiring a date is that people may only put in
an address, because that's much more convenient than also looking up
the date, obtain a positive or negative result, and implicitly assume
that the result for a few weeks back would have been the same.  That
can be quite unfortunate for people on dynamic IP addresses or those
who have recently stopped running a relay.

All the best,
Karsten
