Re: [ga] Delete Microsoft.COM in 15 days from NOW!

["L. Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

1 Microsoft way is the actuall address of the corporation.  The state is 
missing, but that is easily corrected.  In any case, is there anyone who 
doesn't know that M$ is located in Redmond, Washington? :)  It's on 
millions of documents.

In any case, why does one need to have the street address in the whois?  
The only thing the database needs to publish is the tech contact email or 
phone.
