It wasn't a snap judgement. Moving along...

If I used the methodology you *assume* I'm using, then maybe.

Red herring sushi probably has fish mites. So yeah, I'd be *wary*!

Ah! The real question.

Spammers are in the habit of using fraudulent registration details.  
That's why. Fill in the rest yourself.

Thrrp -- If you don't have time to do it you're working harder, not  
smarter!

Well that obviously isn't what I was suggesting. By analogy, I guess  
if you eat red herring sushi you don't want to know that it has high  
levels of mercury and contains fish mites... or if you drive a full  
size truck, you don't want to be told that full size trucks are bad  
and nasty (oh cripes now I'm in for it)... Similarly with your domain  
registrar.

Another case of "agree to disagree" Jon, Tyler?
