Very good point. It seems to me that if I were a spam distributor I
would go straight to rs.internic.net/cgi-bin/whois/ for a little "one-
stop shopping", so to speak -- what better place to easily harvest
thousands of names and addresses of qualified buyers for Web-related
products and services?
So before flaming Internic I would be inclined to seek out their
privacy statement, if any. Should it turn out that they *are*
selling customer data, however, I would be very cheesed indeed.
