I'm all for no spam. But why would anyone in their right mind register a domain, and use their every day e-mail. Just use a hotmail account! Thats what I put in for my e-mail for internic. I get at least 300 msges their every time i check it, which isn't very often...maybe once a month... why? Because spammers are collecting e-mails using the whois database. Their are easily available programs such as Autoposter that skim through webpages getting the e-mails off the pages html code. And the whois is FULL of e-mails. Well, I'd day the agreement doesnt do jack shit, because who the hell reads it when they are planning on spamming?
