As a user of the RIPE database for reporting SPAM, I really don't need any of the associated personal information behind the 'abuse address'. I don't care about names, addresses etc. That part can and likely should stay hidden away without making the plain e-mail address any less useful. All that is really necessary to make that e-mail address effective and useful, that it actually is valid and mail to it will be acted on, promptly.
