Obviously there are lots of people who aren't bothered by the potential
for spamming and other frauds (like the postal mail scams about renewing
your domain). That's OK, I can appreciate that you're all a  bunch of
defeatists. But whois information is such a fraud what's the point?
Especially with a postal mail contact. Have any of you ever contacted a
domain registrant by postal mail for any legitimate reason?
