Yes, I'll go with this position. The ori.author demonstrated that the 
security risks are almost
incalculable and if you ran the remaining problem through a 
probability model using
whois as one of the hundreds of publicly available data sources that 
identify people and their
history available today, whois whould never be chosen as the source. 
The expectation of
homing down a whois manhunt to three people in any given truncated 
zip code is, well, "funny"
statistically.

I'd like to thank the AC for asking me my opinion during the process 
and we remain open
to any reasonable and factually based compromise position.
