You said your self that the ISP abused ISOC's list, so you can try to complain is ISOC. And maybe once and for all these registrars will stop forcing you to make all your details public (including email address, home address, and phone) just because you want to have a domain name... And for everybody saying "but these details helps us catch spammers and the likes", well, this is far from being true. The real abusers can easily provide false information, and I've seen false information even on reputable companies' assignments. Besides, if someone chooses not to provide this information he should be allowed to, but it will just cause a easier finger on the black-list trigger (just like happens now regarding to Chinese domains), so that serious non- spammer hosts will volunterily provide this information. Also, if you're a customer of that ISP, can't you complain to them directly, saying you'll be taking your business elsewhere? -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Apr 2 2003, 1 Nisan 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |This signature was intentionally left http://nadav.harel.org.il |boring. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
