In these days of political interest in how the internet is 'managed' the 
RIRs need to do more than 'just maintain an accurate registry'. The 
internet is a crucial part of modern life. Abuse is considered to be a 
serious problem. What you are saying is that you don't give a dam about 
abuse and are not interested in being part of the management of abuse. 
The more people who hold and publish this view, the more likely 
politicians are to get involved.
