Good bye, then, whois.

I can remember times when you could still see the names and addresses of registrants in whois records. That was before abuse and fraud became everyday occurrences in today's internet.

I miss the times when we could still believe in basic human decency.

basic human decency is not incompatible with there being a very small but spammy minority.

though it seems this belief is tested on multiple fronts nowadays.
