Do you really not tied of reading tons of spam (yes, super wise guys
send spam right to abuse@! It is cool! ;) )? So sometime it is only way
to be sure it is a human is sending that e-mail... I think we should see
not on the form, but on the reaction for the abuse report.

Also I think it is good idea to periodically check other contacts (fax,
phone) provided in RIPE objects, as well as adding "pager:" contact
information (ICQ,AIM,JABBER,etc).
