Good Lord! Why don't we just set up a new government agency that does nothing but go around to domain owners' addresses to see if they can be served there?! Yes, a P.O. Box is a valid address you can "serve". if you send registered mail to a P.O. Box, they put a note in your box and the mail is held at the post office for you to sign for in person. I think you guys are putting WAY too much stock in the idea that WHOIS data is going to automatically be useful for taking legal action against someone. Bad people can fake it by typing someone else's address, remember? -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies "The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was."
