Rick and all, Well Rick, when are these errant registrars, which many of us warned ICANN from the beginning about, going to get their security act together on their Whois databases? I think it is good that they, with your help are getting HALF of the job done. But that is not good enough. And I don't give a hoot if ICANN doesn't want to hear about gross inadequacies of their management either. They are just plain negligent and it need to be pointed out because they were warned far in advance and ignored those warnings. They should be flogged! People have been damaged without adequate recourse in many instances, and that is wrong and should be addressed in an adequate and equitable manner.
