I was wondering where the Men in Dark Glasses went.  I doubt the kiddies
have stopped their pranks.  We used get the confused US Secret Service
agent showing up in person asking us to looking up the address; but
they stopped sometime last summer. I figured they had finally gotten
their own Internet $19.95 account and could do the WHOIS themselves.

Oh, I get it.... do the WHOIS themselves.

As a person who has been getting a call and/or email from the US Secret
Service, the FBI, the NCIS, and probably the CIA (but if they told me,
they'd have to kill me of course), every other week, I'll just say the
clueless don't need encouragement (also, it'd be nice if someone in the US
gov't could read the little lines that say "check the APNIC database before
contacting APNIC".  But then again, why should the US Gov't be any
different that the people in the US?)
