You have asked many times before and multiple times in just this
message for help improving your data.  Some, probably many, networking
companies might have little incentive to do work for free for you so you
can succeed in your business. And providing "data" is a worthwhile
barter only for a few - presumably, primarily for those that have a real
need on a defensive basis? Akin to, I better implement all these
anti-spam mechanisms so my mail won't get bounced by Google. Does
anyone actually bother to check and fix their data with you if they
aren't being harmed by it?  If so, I'd be genuinely interested in
hearing about those cases.
