The internet is a public space.  If your domain is being abused / misused, 
how are people supposed to contact the domain holder or registrar if there 
is no whois record for the domain OR the registrar ?    Remember, I am 
talking about domains that whois servers says does not exist, but for whose 
DNS is active in the root name servers.  In this case, I was talking about 
the domain vestigial3had.com which was registered this AM, and by the time 
it shows up in the whois records 24hrs later, is thrown away by the spammer 
after blasting out their spam....

Anyways, its there now
