It is not the domain WHOIS contact that is in question. It is the ARIN
whois information.
UUNET's domain whois is provided by networksolutions and there is one
contact address for Admin and Technical.
This issue is over the ARIN whois which provides a place for 4 contact
addresses: Tech, OrgAbuse, OrgNOC, and OrgTech.
Of these 4 addresses only the OrgTech address is in question and it is
in question because it is not answered.
So my first point is that even if UUNET doesn't answer that one
address they do answer the others. It isn't exactly as if UUNET was
an unknown organization.
My 2nd point is that if you lookup my IP range in Arin whois then you find:
UUNET Technologies, Inc. UUNET63 (NET-63-64-0-0-1)
63.64.0.0 - 63.127.255.255
Smart Business Solutions, Inc UU-63-99-199 (NET-63-99-199-0-1)
63.99.199.0 - 63.99.199.255
If you further look up net-63-99-199-0-1 then you get -
TechEmail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
And we monitor and answer that e-mail and rfc-ignorant has never sent
a message to us.
So I still argue that even if UUNET does not answer an inquiry on the
ARIN whois contact address then there is still a valid address for my
network range that will be answered should someone contact us.
When you compare that to people I try to contact regularly that have
nothing correct it is absurd.
