I guess that in my exhausted state, I didn't make myself clear.  My point 
was that the whois should default to not publish except for perhaps the 
email and phone number of the tech contact - if even that.  Requestors of 
information on the admin or registrant should have to jump through a few 
hoops to verify the need for the info before being granted that info.  

Let's not forget that it is the IP lobby that insists this all be 
published worldwide to save them the expense of doing research and perhaps 
paying for it.
