[anti-abuse-wg] Correct info in RIPE-database

A common fallacy

Think on the lines of "there are lots of people who vote for a
politician you consider a jackass, but he hardly ever wins an election
anyway"

Then think how many complaints about a valid user you get when just
one or two stray emails of his get misreported, compared to when that
user gets his password compromised by a nigerian or has his PC
infected by a virus.

Clear enough now?    It becomes crystal clear when you have a userbase
of, say, a couple of million like I do now, or 40 million ++ like I
had till about 2009.

Becomes even clearer when you offer feedback loops yourself based on
spam reported by your users.
