Danny, I apologize for assuming that you had an iron in the
fire on this.  The last time this topic came up on the list
the original poster definitely had an axe to grind.

Well, it isn't "my" point, as many other administrators act similarly to 
what I described.  But, keep in mind that if you honestly have no POV 
either way on this issue then of course your going to think it's
diluted, just as the man watching an arrow fly by, aimed at some
other target, thinks "Oh that's kind of interesting"

I'm not aiming at you, I'm aiming at the people who want to get
rid of the whois database, and institute the same kind of
butchery to it that the DNS registrars have permitted to domain name 
contacts (ie: so-called "privacy" listings that do nothing other than to 
allow criminals to hide themselves)
