Youre lucky. Ive noticed an increasing trend that the NOC phone numbers
listed on corporate web pages come back as disconnected/RNA, and the
emails bounce "no such user". Real cute, especially when you're being
ddos'd.

whois data is even worse. I suspect upwards of 25% of whois contact data
is worthless.
