So let's re-elaborate. It's not just the email addr that folks are worried about. It's also their home addr, home phone number - it's pretty much everything that a crazy would need to come to your house and shoot up the place - or some well placed daily harassment phone calls.
I think you would feel very different if some crazies get ahold of your fleshspace identity. I for one would not like it very much if people I don't know (i.e. every crazy out there with
a computer) gets ahold of my *home* address and *home* phone number where *my family* and I reside. No thanks, spam I can filter and deal with; that's what the delete key is for.
(I don't know how much spam you get, but I am up to my armpits in them daily even before I wake up - filters are not perfect, and I still end up
having to go thru them to make sure legitimate stuff is still being read)
I think that's the point, that *all* of your personal info gets laundered out onto the world -
not just your email. If it's just me fine, I welcome a few intruders for target practice; but I've got family to worry about.

This site is worth bending over for. Life's a bitch, and you have to choose your battles. Firefly is worth fighting for, but I wouldn't lose sleep over some email spam. He could use a yahoo email for that matter.Quote:

Including phone number and fax number.
I personally wouldn't care for all
of that posted on that.
What's worst. spammers troll the
whois DB for email addresses.
The dumbest thing that I have ever
seen is getting slew and slew of
spam and then getting the stupid
spam from the spammer telling me
how effective their emailing list
is - would I like to buy into it.
You know what, one day, I think I
will take them up on their offer.
Then find out who thesebastards
are, where they live, and splat
that all over the net.
How you like that?!Quote:

Isn't that what that ICANN p3.3.1.6 sez?
Besides, having a realname to match up
with an online name is almost as good
as getting all of your personal info.
You can dig up so much more with a realname.Quote:
