> Paranoia rampant. Very much so. I've had family members killed. I used to work for America Online, and seen lots of people reported missing after meeting someone online, I've seen perverts online trying to get addresses of kids. I've had to see a lot of that **CRAP** having been on the Community Action Team for AOL. I've been around for a long time, I've seen some things that would make a lot of parents forbid their children from internet usage.
But, if you have a business, then you NEED a domain, because that _is_ the wave of the future. If you want to survive, then you'll either own a business in the real world that receives and fills shipping orders from the companies online, OR you'll be online making those sales. That is the reason **they** need domain names. But in this world, where an executive hires a hit man to take out the person above them so they have room to move up, _that_does_happen, I would not trust anyone. I personally don't care, if someone wants my domain whois information let them come, I'll see them coming a mile away, **_because_** I am paranoid. I'm not like all weird about it, but I always keep my eyes open, always. Most people don't do that. Especially most of our customers, they just go on living their lives like this is a time of peace and security. So be it. I'm all for giving them more privacy, even if they don't ASK for us to bring it, I believe if it is there, they'll take it.
