rules on using a P.O. Box in my whois?

I gotta post my personal info so why shouldnt you,

The reason why I shouldn't is because those naked pictures I am submitting to your site and a bajillion other are actual naked pictures of ME. I am making a living by inviting strange men to fantasize about having sex with me. Surfers are, therefore, a whole fucking hell of a lot more likely to want to camp out on my lawn than yours. And I don't want to give them any more information than I absolutely have too.

Even if I weren't worried on my own behalf, I would be worried about it for the sake of my 2 kids, who could also be endangered if one of these guys should decide to track me down and camp out on my lawn.

Obviously, you are aware of this possibility:

Plateman, would you consider accepting sites from a submitter with a private whois if they could provide alternate verification such as perhaps a doing business as registration?

I also wonder how the LL owners who ban private whois's would like the godaddy business registration, which is (I gather) a private registration with a linked business directory. Any opinions?

Thanks Plateman

I would have written to you to make sure before I submitted to Porn O Plenty, but it is very nice to have "preapproval" (so to speak).

Just out of curiosity I spent half an hour looking up various domains' whois last night...about 80% of the independent paysites I checked had either a private whois or a PO box, and better than half of the LL's I checked also had a PO box. And at least one LL I looked at had a fake address! (It was something like "the pit, Hell TX.") So I guess there's not really a consensus on this.
