WhoIs Footnote

[Brendan Stephenson <realmmaster26@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't think of this in the last email but I have a solution for whois 
privacy. Give the option to hide the physical address only if they are not a 
business or organisation. The provider should have full access to address info 
at all times but the public should not.

A postal address can be safely made public with the exception of the personal 
physical addresses, which cannot. You are making the assumption that every site 
owner is either a business, organisation, or has an address that isn't their 
place of residence, which may have worked years ago but is a foolish notion now.

Name, email and phone number are all relatively safe to be made public, but 
addresses can only be problematic unless you represent a business, an 
organisation, or have a p.o. box.
