Please also take the time to understand that your needs are not my needs. I would be in favour of a WHOIS system that doesn't expose my me (and my mom) to criminals calling, emailing, and occasionally mailing the owner with fraudulent claims that something will be lost if I/she doesn't take some action, or that she needs to sign up to a search engine provider, or similar. Decent spam filters can eat a lot of it, but far from all. She's clever enough to sort out most of it, but it shouldn't be a necessary part of being on the internet just to have her own single page website and email address for her consulting business. I understand the utility of the data, I do, but it's disingenuous to suggest that only criminals would benefit from some changes here.
