That may be, but I still need valid whois data to track down network problems in progress. I use whois many times a day for this and bad data just makes net management a lot harder.
Instead of keeping e-mail addresses in WHOIS, why not just keep a URL that (theoretically) has up-to-date contact information. This would allow the organization to publish whatever e-mail addresses they wanted to, as well as solving the problem of spammers walking the db. A web page should be just as easy (if not easier) to keep up to date than WHOIS data. --Adam
