It's impossible to contact some of these companies; emails sent to role contacts just go unanswered. I had lots of problems trying to contact one of the above mentioned ones (about peering) recently. All contact numbers divert into a telephone drone repeating "we do not have technical support at this time". Contact with humans is strictly forbidden. I suppose your hope-of-last-resort is that someone from $Giant_corp sees you posting on Nanog and replies. At the end of the day this is never going to stop. It's much easier posting to Nanog than spending 4 hours on the phone trying to locate someone with a clue in one of these big companies.

I recommend you guys setup a "Don't have a contact for" list instead of this bullshit we're experiencing on NANOG month in month out, jeez.
You got kicked from the one list no one gets kicked of, Full-Disclosure, and came to NANOG to kill all conversation?
On the other hand, he *does* have a valid point. Why *do* we keep seeing queries for the same networks?
