There has to be a balance between expectations to privacy when 
participating in a public space (the internet).  Putting your name and 
address behind a domain is not unreasonable in my mind.  You are afterall 
publishing DNS info, so its not a case of total privacy.

I use RBLs to score messages, not reject them.
