Anyone is free to ask those questions and get more than satisfactory answers Roland. As long as there's a clear and transparent mechanism for handling those sorts of queries -- ie who to ask and how to ask them -- all should be well. Though I doubt it would help. Those who make those sorts of questions are generally looking for a stick studded with rusty nails to beat any Internet governance body. When they find one stick no longer works, they just move on and find another. Repeat ad nauseam.

I suppose it might help if there's something which explains that the prime responsibility for maintaining timely and accurate contact data rests with the address holder, not IANA or the RIR. They can intervene when there's a problem.
