For several years now this "topic" has been subject of discussion here.
For several years people have tried to make you understand things and failed. Can you please explain why on earth you want to contact the owner of a domain? Are you really so ignorant that you are sending messages like "are you aware that you are spamming?" to domain owners??? I'll say it once more, in this instance (and only on this topic and in this instance) Ross is on the same wavelength as I am. The only correct one, nobody but the registrar has ANY buisiness with who owns the domain, keeping the current whois "intact" and or replacing it with the VGRS sponsored "crisp" solution is absolute nonsense aimed at serving the IP community and spammers.
