Site enables automated flagging of "anonymously" registered domains

http://bit.ly/aD1Vtz  (SpamResource)

This is an excellent idea.  "Masked" domain registrations have become
the favored tool of all manner of crooks, and a heavily pushed profit
center by many registrars.  While I realize that not all anonymous
domains are being used for illicit purposes, they also make it much
harder to reach responsible parties in cases of network problems
(intentional or not) and are (in my opinion) significantly 
contributing to destabilization of the Net overall.

I realize that many persons disagree with me about this, but as far as
I'm concerned if you want your public presence to be a domain name,
you should be willing to admit who you really are and have accurate
contact information immediately available.  Does this attract some
spam and other problems?  Yeah.  But get over it.  If you're that
scared of spam -- or revealing your physical contact info -- don't get
a domain name -- use an address under an ISP or other service and
leave the domains to the people willing to stand up, be counted, and
use them responsibly in a public context.
