Re: WHOIS not alone

Birth month and year is bad enough, especially as I see no reason the public needs to know that when investigating a company. As for the address, that's great for a company that has its own premises somewhere, but if it's a small one where all the workers work from home or it exists for a freelance person to organize contracting work, then they won't have one. Should they be obliged to rent some external address to receive post just so their real address where they can already receive post won't be publicized?
