However, since you had no way to know that, but you DO know quite well that I do not want my e-mail address posted in a public forum and did it anwyay, I conclude that you have no regard for your fellow man. Spammers have been using whois data since forever to get email address. I'm POSITIVE that

This is a "check and balance" that the internet community (ISPs and backbones, mostly) agreed to at the inception of the internet - back when it was split from the Arpanet. This "check and balance" is a violation of domain owners' privacy, which should not be possible without just cause, i.e. a

Actually it wasn't. Or at least not all of it. So what? It should be up to ME, not YOU, when and where I decide to give up my privacy. It doesn't matter if the information was ever right or ever public; the point is I asked you not to do it, with reason, which I've explained before. You did it

Derek's assertion is that there needs to be mechanism behind one's ability to protect privacy. In Derek's mind Travis' actions prove this. In my mind, the mechanism doesn't exist yet - and probably won't because our society has rendered the spam problem as a "policy fix". The only way for this to
