WorldNIC will setup a domain without an email address using a bogus worldnic.com email address if the owner of the domain wishes to keep his email address private. This is a practice all registrars should consider. And, since WorldNIC is another face of NSI, it would seem that this practice is well within their acceptable guidelines. Some ISPs also hide the true phone number by using a phone line at their facilities. And others use Contact records that point to the ISP for Admin, Billing and Technical contacts on domains they register. These are very large registrars and they do get their domains registered without any hassles from NSI. Since snail mail is costly and not very cost effective, hiding the true data from NSI will reduce the SPAM the domain owner receives as most companies won't go the extra expense. WorldNIC is utilizing the database for marketing purposes which is something the old guard at NSI was totally against any ISP doing and in fact insisted on an agreement to those terms before giving us ftp passwords to pull down the .zone files. -=Mike Reno=- Hostmaster, EarthLink Network At 01:00 PM 11/16/98 -0500, you wrote: >No. That's not really a valid comparison.
