<troll>
Residential Privacy is great.  Now we should extend it to all and have
private whois for non-residential customers.

I concur completely.

I'm not sure why that's relevent.  Even if we assume that there's a
public record of the names and addresses of everyone in ARIN's service
region, that doesn't mean that we have a mapping from IP address to
individual or address.  We could even assume that everyone's credit
report files and medical records were public, yet we wouldn't have the
IP address to person (or address) mappings.
