And that falls right into some of the scare tactic sales pitches the domain registrars use. "they can look up your domain and find your home address!" Heck, even a p.o box could leave someone open to a stalker, if said stalker is determined enough. so yes, I'll concede that point to a certain extent. On Wed, 2009-07-15 at 17:18 -0500, David E.

When one registers a domain they can put in their real information or they can use a proxy, like Go-Daddy's Domains By Proxy.If you're using it for your business, the value is pretty slim. You probably want your business to be reachable by the public. Individuals, especially those using their domains to publish anything controversial, could benefit somewhat from the increased privacy.
