Amen. If there is a problem with a domain that I have registered, I want people to be able to find out who I am, and contact me. If I don't respond to a request, don't put forth my best efforts, or remove myself from the network until the problem is corrected - then pull the plug on me. Plain and simple. The "whois" lookup gives anyone, even with limited skills, the ability to possibly contact someone in regards to a domain. I know there have been abuses of the system, but the advantages of having this information readily available far outweigh what will come when it is hidden from public view.
