Subject: Re: virtual anonymous whois info?

It's supposed to be correct information with contacts etc. number and all
- however what can you expect opensrs or any other registrar to do - the
way the system works it's impossible to verify details - so it a well know
standard to just ignor it.  Whois is full of anonymous and misleading
information.

The dot.god registry does not even bother to ask them for contact details
except for the email address (which must be valid).  The remaining
information just takes up space and is guranteed to be garbage in 50% of
the cases.  I base this estimate on the privacy stats from dot.god - see 

	http://god.pccf.net/admin/stats-2000-06-01/sld003.htm

I assume those people who want privacy are the same ones who put in
anonymous or fictitious information (at least half).  I guessing - but you
can see where I'm going - the net should therefore accomodate that need.
