Dear William,
Not one to be "defending" NSI, I respectfully ask that you examine your bot.
The whois information returned by http://swhois.net queries NSI and other
relevant whois servers. This query of one of my active domains shows
that a full return of listed information is available.
Perhaps NSI may have begun implimenting a privacy policy, as we have
at Name.Space since 1996, in which clients may elect to have "unlinsted"
domains which only display email information of the domain holder.
(this service is only available with Name.Space gTLDs, not legacy TLDs).
Other than that, the whois data displayed as of Sunday afternoon 3.14.1999
appears to be unchanged from recent results.
Best wishes,
Paul Garrin
