I had similar experiences with @Home. Could not get them to pull a record. 
Couldn't even get to someone with enough clue to know what the RADB was, 
for that matter.

Ultimately, whomever ARIN (or other RIR) says owns a netblock has to have 
the right to remove crap from the RADB/IRR type databases. That's the only 
way the data ever has a chance of getting clean.

Anyone trying to use such databases to build filters is going to have major 
trouble.
