I've personally been flamed for sending a simple "Hey, I can't get a hold
of someone at <insert provider here> using whois contact info.  Could
someone from the provider or someone who has contact information for the
provider e-mail me?"  

Well, pardon me for pushing YABI, but anyone w/ an ASN could be set up 
to publish accurate data as follows:

dig [ASN].rdi.int. txt

or
dig 226.rdi.int. txt


and then most anyone can get accurate poop (presuming that ISPs will keep
up data they maintain on their own systems better than coordinating an update
on a centralized server... :)
