Nick and all, Thank you for the study. Seems that the paranoia regarding proxy registrations remains strong. Seems also that the study doesn't provide any definitive information to justify such paranoia. Ergo, I can only conclude that this study takes the WHOIS problems very little closer to a viable or fact based resolution. Nick Ashton-Hart wrote:
