Raising the restrictions on personal objects isnt a bad idea at all,
but it should wait until personal data and abuse contacts are
seperated, like outlined by Tobias' last proposal and after
most objects in the database confirm to this new model.

I would love to hide all personal email addresses behind
a randomly changing address <randomcode>@abuse.ripe.net

And names, postal, fon and fax address of personal objects
could be hidden behind a webpage with captcha code or thelike,
maybe the abuse finder tool could be enhanced here.

But again: most important is the seperation of personal
and abuse data, a database cleanup and the general unrestricted
access to abuse contacts.


Kind regards, Frank
