Huh?? I am genuinely puzzled. What did I ask? I didn't ask anybody to _do_ anything. At least nothing other than to tell me how to find certain bits of unarguably useful information (which apparently aren't available to mere mortals... I am guessing by design, since it wouldn't exactly be rocket surgery to add them into the WHOIS responses). I don't have a big agenda to make the world safe for democracy here or anything like that. I already know many of the reasons why THAT ain't gonna happen. But my innate curiosity does cause me to at least want to know who the outright crooks are, and who the screw-ups are who let them onto the Internet, and when. I feel that everyone has a right to this information, not to punish, but to protect ourselves from the bad guys and also maybe from the dopes who, wittingly or otherwise, help them.
