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?

Well, unless someone has copious free time on their hands, it doesn't
look like any mating of our data with SRS will take place any time
soon.  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.

[1] Unknown how many are actually Tucows' but a 10-15% number would
probably be a good ballpark
