Speaking of whois, I'm really glad I don't get the quantity of whois-based junk mail I used to see with the domain I registered ~10 years ago. That's one category of spam that seems to have improved over time.

P.S. It's a nitpick, but "just assume" should be "just as soon."



Thanks for the nitpick. It never sounded quite right the way I say it. ;)


Do you get the Domain Registrar of America renewal letters? (Or whatever they are called). Or is that just something sent to us rubes in the colonies.


I always try to renew my domains months in advance, so it's possible I've been missing out on those letters for the last few cycles. I used to get a lot more than that though. It's been a long time, but I seem to remember getting daily junk mail sent to the exact contact info I used on a domain registration and nowhere else. I believe the registrars implemented new policies on whois that helped with that, but again, it's been a decade so my memory is foggy.
