Wazza - I agree - and although its already a known fact (been posted here a few times) that some LLs have been doing this all along, and some TGPs have had whole hosting companies banned by IP block, it was good to see that he would make the reason public. And youre probably right, but the one thing that this will cause in the long run, hopefully, with the addition of the new law just adopted requiring correct info in the whois in the US - the wholesale use of blocking whois info will go away - and make the scammers a little easier to spot. The end result will be that the domain registrars will no longer offer privacy packages, which they are probably going to announce soon anyway, and the ones that want to stay in biz will comply with the US law and ensure correct info somehow.
