*claps* I can't be the only person who believes the whole "privacy" claim for failing to provide accurate information about who is using the Internet to be complete and utter nonsensical bullshit, right? I make a living classifying PTR naming conventions, so I spend much of my day (and the past 13 years) looking at WHOIS and rwhois lookups. In the past few years it has become more or less the default for companies and organizations and ISPs and telcos to hide their information, even though you can go to their Web site and find out who they are and how to contact them and where their locations are and so forth. Some ccTLDs don't even bother to run a WHOIS server at all. Most ISPs don't offer delegation records, or if they did, the rwhois server the lookups try to redirect to was shut down long ago. I dread living in a world where the best way to find out who and where the responsible party behind a given IP address is traceroute. But it's becoming more and more the case.
