As e-mail.

Sorry, that was a typo.  Same problem, however.

The reason why I am so wary about this is because at that time you'd
have to have a real person, with name and phone number, listed as
admin-c.  Things have improved since then, partly due to the
introduction of abuse-c.


Nevertheless, the actual problem with the idea about abuse-c being too
easily accessible still remains: People who don't really know what they
are doing will find that interface and cause additional work to the
people on the receiving end of the abuse-c mail queue.
