Jeff
that sounds reasonable.

We've had a similar experience when trying to report abuse. Although I
am subbed to this list from my personal address I am also one of the
abuse contacts for a RIPE LIR :)

A lack of response to an abuse report doesn't bother me, but bounces and
web redirects are incredibly frustrating, especially when the web form
is incomprehensible

Thanks for the extra info

Regards

Michele
