Maybe you could have your whois-listed URL point to a page which says you
don't do retail registrations, with a link to someone who does. I think
most of us would benefit from our contact information being listed in the
whois output.
The main reason I want it is that every time a client forgets their
password, they also forget where they registered the domain name, and go
straight to OpenSRS with the problem. Then OpenSRS contacts me to take care
of the situation. It makes me feel like I am somehow to blame. How did
they find OpenSRS? Probably from looking up their domain name using
someone's whois script. If my site was listed there, they could have come
to me and we could have left the "wholesale supplier" out of it. I'm sure
OpenSRS would save a lot of man-hours!
