Hmmm hmmm let's not forget they're up here in Canada. The 555-1212 is obvious to me, but those addresses mean nothing to me, except I'm guessing since you pointed it out that the DC one is the White House or Pentagon? Techies no less, I don't even know what the number is for Sussex Dr nor the Parliament buildings... right here in my own town.
That said, wouldn't they just send a general ' we've had a report of incorrect information, please correct it or prove it' DO they really need to know exactly what's wrong?

Even though we've got a couple thousand .(com|net|org) domains that are misregistered[1] domains, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wants an individual e-mail message for each one, along with a description of "why you think a particular address or phone number might be wrong"... that means that even if it's patently obvious (1600 Pennsylvania Ave, DC.... 1060 W. Addison, Chicago, IL.... 212-555-1212, etc.), it would still require me to explain it in monosyllabic terms to the compliance-monkeys. Since I run the database, I can say that anyone of average intelligence can read the "evidence" portion of 99.9% of the listings and figure out the problem all on his/her own, but apparently compliance@ needs hand-holding, hand-holding which I don't have the time to do (and shouldn't really have to). Personally, I think they're just frightened by the prospect of having to go through and verify several hundred domains. D [1] Unknown how many are actually Tucows' but a 10-15% number would probably be a good ballpark -- +---------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | "Thou art the ruins of the noblest man | | Derek J.
