By law, this information must be public. The idea is to fight phishers and spammers by forcing names to be public. Of course the bad guys don't register honestly and use Whois to harvest names for spamming. This is what happens when innocents make the laws. Also shows why it is such a good idea to elect crooks to Congress. For an *extra fee* GoDaddy will let you register a domain in their name so your information is not made public. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
