The choice of registrar, registrar policy, registrar price, and so on isn't data that could be of use to anyone ever. But you're going to get "valid and correct whois data" from all registrars. How will you get that? What does "valid" and "correct" mean? Does it apply to all the records in a single domain registration, or just some of them? Eric
