Well, there's me.

I think "private registration" is about as antisocial as doing away with registrant info; I believe "private" registrations should never have been permitted, and now that they have been, this should be rolled back. (Don't want your information in whois? Don't register a domain! Holding a slice of a shared public resource while still being anonymous is trying to have it both ways, and, ultimately, it works about as well as trying to have it both ways does in most contexts.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
