Yes....a good point. We should build in something where you can customize
affiliate/reseller info for the WHOIS....we've had that suggestion

Best option would probably be to turn it off for now.

Chuck has entertained a number of suggestions about this feature;
Scott/Chuck and I will be discussing what we should do next week...

Thanks,

Ken
