Whois? Whowas. So what's next for ICANN and its vast database of domain-name owners?

"Similar experience here, several domains over the years, still have a few, spam quantity is similarly miniscule, even when daring to turn off all the filtering just to get an idea of the scale of it."

I never really got a mountain of spam out of it, but what made me scramble my WHOIS info was the postal mail spam from a few brave (and foolish) companies that harvested the WHOIS data in order to try and sell me domain services I neither needed or wanted.

Granted, one of my email addresses is old enough to vote, so that's the best reason I can come up with for the volume I get.
