I wasn't talking about irrdb.  I was just talking about the WHOIS records
for IPv4 allocations within the AFRINIC region.

Anyway, yes, I do believe that  used the -B flag.  But nontheless, I
really did see some AFRINIC WHOIS records that had -no- email contacts,
nor any date information.

I will have to try to see if I can dredge those out again.

But my overall point remains.  If there were ever to be an election where
we were all asked who we wanted to see become the once and future Routing
Police, the RIRs would not be my own personal first choice.
