Flaming them on NANOG seems to work, but you get singed in the process
also.  Try  markk at internic.net. He seemed helpful.  From him:

"Hostmaster receives at least 20K pieces of mail a day. If you have an
operational issue of this nature, feel free to send it to action at internic.net.
The people who are responsible for monitoring the roots also read that box."

Let us know how [un]responsive action at internic.net is!
