Suresh, I think that you are being far too generous when you
characterize such behavior... which I have also seen and
documented, first-hand... as being merely a case of "poor
abuse controls".  I would instead call it concious, knowing
duplicity.

I mean really... How many brain cells does it take to understand
that you've been asked, this week, to cancel registrations on 50
different  domains, all registered by/to account X, and that
you were likewise asked to cancel 50 domains last week also,
and that these were also registered by/to account X, and likewise,
the week before that, and the week before that.  How many brain
cells must the registrar have in order to grasp that maybe the
real problem is account X?  (I myself would say "Less than the
number necessary to be able to reliably find the bathroom every
day.")
