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
