Oh, heck, you know better than that. You can put in all the flags and warnings you want, but if it returns an address, nitwits will show up at the address with guns.

I hear this argument about various things over and over and over again.However, my home address has been published in multiple whois databases since I moved here in 1993.Not once has a nitwit with a gun shown up on my doorstep as a result.
I think you miss the point. Your geocoordinates were not mistakenly associated with nigh infinite amounts of internet abuse. This thread has (mostly) been about wrong information being published, not information being published at all.
