For better or worse, useful WHOIS data is a lost cause. Spammer fighters too stupid or egotistical to understand or admit how easy it has always been and always will be for illegal spammers to invent, steal, rent, or borrow phone numbers and addresses made themselves such pains to legal spammers that they created a market for spammer shields. Not to miss profits, ultra-cheap registrars catering to spammers flogged their spammer shields to the punters as protection against spam and stalking. Since then the punters have been taught to expect privacy shields bundled for free with their cheap domain registrations. And that's only where governments haven't decided that only they should know everything about everyone and made valid WHOIS data illegal. My view is that if an outfit has so few other users that it doesn't hear when things breaks and doesn't care enough to monitor, then it's not worth my time to be a pest. By time I notice a problem with a non-trivial domain, those responsible will already be on the job and I would only an irritating user or luser. They will already have been alerted by their monitors as well as hordes of other lusers. In other words, when did you last alert strangers about lame delegations?
