How many people on this list think it's a good idea to provide such information to the individual who owns the domain? The FAQ promises they won't misuse the information but there is no clear statement of identity or address in the web content. A whois lookup shows the domain belongs to an individual. I see no clear evidence offered to convince skeptics like me that they have a relationship with the proper parties to get the information collected into the 411 system.
