Round one to Robb, on a TKO.
I concede that I have been outdone by Professor Robb. I am unable to comprehend his logic, and my mail spool isn't large enough to contain his rambling tirades. I would respond point by insensible point to his mail, but I have limited time.
Dr Robb (aka God) has the amazing ability to detect incorrect host records from his planet by psychic intuition, and doesn't need to go through the tedium of actually checking with people who are authoritative for a domain or IP, like the rest of us, since he is authoritative. This is not something to be wasted or trifled with. Indeed, one must demand that Internic immediately delete the offending record, and then notify the contacts. In retrospect, I can see that simply sending mail to contacts at host.net and youwant.to is a waste of time for someone who is authoritative. I apologize for not realizing this sooner.
<sigh> Dean, Dean... and I had such high hopes for you. His assertion, that the interNIC ought to follow it's own published procedures and follow up on reports of bogus data, attempting correction, and in extremis, deleting such records, seems to stand on it's own. It's also apparent from others' comments that they do not, which does not surprise me at all, given _my_ past experiences with the InterNIC. Have A Nice Day, Dean. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
