So marketing is now deciding how to discuss technical issues with customers? Hmmm. That precisely confirms my assumption, actually: the wrong tool was chosen for marketing reasons. Anyway, I've made my opinions clear, so I'll shut up about it now. >Knowlingly providing false information in your whois record is about >to become a pretty serious legal offense in the U.S. and its already >cause for revocation of the domain name per the registrant agreement. >I would seriously advise anyone that takes their business seriously >not to follow Robert's lead. Yes. It was an attempt at a "joke"; I do not, obviously, actually plan to do that, nor do I encourage or allow customers to give false information. The "joke" does, however, represent the opinions of many end-users. Ironically, if WHOIS were restricted to parties who had a reasonable need to know it, instead of being public, end users would be much more likely to provide valid contact information. -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies http://www.tigertech.net/ "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." -- Darwin
