I like that approach - because you can then have:
% % Closest Match Abuse Contact: .....
... which should be displayed in any case. Right now, the whole "-c" semantics is nice, but not *that* useful, because the irt: object itself isn't fetched - you will get back the "next lower level inetnum with an mnt-irt:", but then you have to issue yet another query to get the actual irt: contacts (or did I miss something here?). So the sequence is: - whois -c $ip - if nothing returned, get "whois $ip | grep e-mail:" - if something returned, parse result, query "whois $irt" from an infamous tool writer's perspective, this is quite some effort, and "whois $ip | grep @ | uniq | spam" will in most cases also reach "someone"...

Change the -c flag to use abuse-c instead of mnt-irt. Depends. -c is handy for both things i think.
Is there a flag that will make "-c" fetch the irt: object in the same whois call?
