Oh, most certainly. We can draw to both the Yellow / White Pages for this, as well as the idea of offices and PO boxes for physical addresses. Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that. Yellow and White Pages worked in the 20th century, but likely won't work for that purpose anymore today. Whois and such are already being obfuscated by more and more registries, and thank goodness they are. Meanwhile offices and PO boxes exist mainly because of harassment from customers to the business owner's personal address (along with other, more obvious larger business rationale like not having employees drive to your place for work). This can go as far as you can imagine, literally someone standing by your door in the middle of the night. Some people do incorporate on their own address regardless, which uh... I don't want to even entertain the idea of for my business, thank you very much! Business here, personal there. Overlap yes, but only up to a point. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Michael De Roover Mail: i...@nixmagic.com Web: michael.de.roover.eu.org -- Visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
