Well, one thing that has to happen is that ISPs and co-lo providers
(such as Inflow, our former - note /former/ - provider) need to
"understand that validity and security of whois data is important and

to some clueful folks at Inflow and the efforts of one Thom Smith. Many
thanks to all concerned.
