Thank you for the statistics. Not sure of their applicability, but it's
nice to know just how heavily used this database is. Hmmm...one would
think that if it's that heavily hit, maybe there would be some interest in
keeping it accurate, yes?

And it's the Kingdom of Tonga's domain, for which Tonic is merely the
Registry.
However, the point has been completely missed here, Eric. The point Dal
was making is that Perhaps.youwant.to FALSIFIED, LIED, FORGED, STOLE,
MISAPPROPRIATED, and otherwise BS'd about their WhoIs entry:
[No name] PERHAPS-HST

Traceroute confirms that youwant.to is hosted by Web2000.net. The
WhoIs-listed IP is user.host.net, the machine on which Host.Net runs their
webpage, FTP, et al. Not real likely they'd give that out for a hosted
domain's IP.
So....four days ago, youwant.to [side issue: Why does a machine,
"perhaps", have a host entry in WhoIs, but the domain, "youwant.to" not?]
updated their WhoIs record with a bunch of lies. THAT is the point, and
the problem. What is NSI/InterNIC going to do about it, Eric?
