Yes, that's true. But as I mentioned, I don't have a problem with (and I don't think end users are worried about) technical contact information being listed in WHOIS. If it were allowed for the contact info to just be a technical/abuse contact (i.e., it were okay for hosting companies to put their own contact info for "vanity" domains), that would be fine. The privacy concern is the current rule which requires that people who aren't involved in running the domain at all, and who can't address any network issues coming from that domain, must reveal their name, phone number, and physical address. ------------------------------------ Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies
