Didn’t say it was.. just that it hasn’t happened on my name servers much.

Indeed.  Have you tried the abuse approach at the registry when the registrar won’t deal with you?  What sort of response did you get (if any at all)?  I’m curious what registries’ abuse departments would say about that when, technically, they’re contractually bound to publish whatever a registrar gives them.
