Forcing legacy holders to add "something" to the database is not magically<br>

As is the mandatory abuse-c today - it created "something" (so we can now<br>
tout how wonderfully complete our database is), but given that it was<br>
forced upon non-caring people, the *quality* of the recorded abuse-c:<br>

For our data, the data quality is less good than before, as I find it far<br>
too annoying to register abuse-c: for customer networks where the abuse<br>
mails *could* be going directly (our parent abuse-c: points to our<br>
abuse handling team, so mails are going to be handled, but might take<br>
longer to reach the customer).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace">I agree as well here.
