[ncc-services-wg] ripe rejecting "valid" e-mail

I replied, in all innocence, to the recent e-mail from NCC about the change
to allocation objects - commenting on how an LIR like me cannot actually
update the object themselves. Don't point me to the LIR portal - without a
working fax number I cannot get an account. Been there, done that.

Anyhow, I get back:

-- quote --
The RIPE-NCC hostmaster distribution robot has extracted the following
additional information from it:

   RegID: No valid RegId found
   Ticket Number: NCC#2003101214

We will NOT handle this message. It is of type NOREGIDBOUNCE.
It concerns an ongoing request.
-- ... --

Er, when you have a valid ticket number *why the hell* do you need a regID
as well ???

Some people really have too much spare time and write too much code that
doesn't consider the real world. Anyone else object to the over-babying of
inbound mail to the NCC ? The prices stay high, the work they are willing to
do goes down. As usual.
