complain about"

I hope they teach you better reasoning at school... alas:

That one works (which is why I asked for what you where doing :)
Even though a "whois -h whois.6bone.net Johann Sharizan" pops that
one up too, but you didn't specify what you where doing at all.

And indeed creating a Maintainer object takes some time as it has to
be manually approved and that can take some time certainly because the
team behind the 6bone db is quite busy. When it gets approved/denied
you will get a message. Fortunatly you are busy with your exams so that
won't bother you that much.
