It might sound crazy, but to me posting my actual phone number and address on a publicly searchable directory linking me to a website I own might not be the most safe practice in the world. Imagine the owner of a site getting phone calls at his or her home number because they didn't realize it would be posted for every oddball out there in cyberspace to see.
It happened to me a few years ago, and ever since then I've always entered fake information for domains I register. A few years back Network Solutions offered a new 'service' which allowed you to make the information private and non-searchable. Thanks, NS... now I have to pay an extra bit of money just to not have my home address and personal phone number listed, above the already outrageous prices they required for a simple domain name?
Not gonna happen... I'd more simply enter a fake address and phone number than have to shell out extra money just to have my personal information out of the reach of the oddballs out there, and not to mention the crawlers who no doubt see WHOIS as a gold mine for spamming activities.
Most Army installations only use their AKO webmail accounts for forwarding to their installation e-mail servers, most of which as far as I know use Exchange. Most of the time the only use of AKO webmail comes when the installation specific e-mail system is down for maintenance... so the response is probably relevant for those who use AKO webmail on a regular basis, but not Army-wide.
Judging by those numbers, though, I would say the Sun setup is great for forwarding, but not for high scale groupware.

That could be interesting, for maybe 15 minutes tops. Then again, it would remind people too much of real life, and no one would pay for it.
