And as an NSI > customer, once escalated to this level, it's something that I'd Umm.. note that if NSI drops the Whois information regarding one of their customers on the floor, that's between *me* and NSI, not between NSI and the customer. I at least *HOPE* that the majority of Whois queries are people looking for contact information for *other* sites, rather than paranoid "is my entry still OK?" queries. If the latter, we have a serious problem. If the former, it's *still* not between NSI and the customer, because the customer who's info I'm trying to find doesn't *know* that I'm unable to find it. And if I had the info so I could tell them... I wouldn't be looking in Whois in the first place. Also, note that "between each customer and NSI" is exactly the sort of reason why the concept of a class action lawsuit exists. I'm not saying one is needed, just mentioning the logic behind it....
