I've already got my address and e-mail in there.  There has to be a 
limit of personal information required.  What else might they want to 
know in a few years from now after more laws are written in?  I agree 
that some form of contact is needed, but not Every form of contact.

The complaint was b.s..  I know it - the person who did it knows it - 
and godaddy knows it (and they refunded my $$).

This may come as a surprise to you, but I got about 15 telemarketer 
calls today on my cel.  Friday must be their favorite day to reach 
out and touch people.  I have to go in and delete all their 
voicemails which is even more painful than just answering and hanging 
up on them.
