Subject: You don't need the registrant's personal information

      All you need is the tech contact who is the one that should have the information.  Since that is the providier, that is the entity to contact.  If it happens to be the same as the regsitrant, good.  If not, and the provider doesn't stop the spam or attack, block the IP and hold the provider responsible for allowing it.  Most providers do not permit spam.  The few who do should not be used to punish domain name holders by publicizing or selling their personal information, nor should a registrant be forced to provide information to the public so that they can be harrassed or stalked as I was.

Again, all that is needed in a public whois is the technical contact information, and then only a legitimate phone number and email address.

Quite frankly, I'm tired of paying the price so that corporations can facilitate identity theft, spam and other illegal behavior.
