Jeremy --

I just responded elsewhere in the Forums about public vs private for a business. I truly believe that if one is planning on operating a business, that part of one's credibility is to be public. Does it make me nervous? Oh yeah! But, I do think that it's critical information that is "technically" available to a potential customer if they know how to use whois.

I have to admit that I'm uncomfortable with being this public; however, it's part of the price of doing business on the internet. If I expect a total and complete stranger to spend their money with me, they have a right to know who I am as much as is feasible. If I ran a storefront, they could drop by and I'd only be dealing locally.

I think that making one's domain private is counterproductive to good business practices.
