NSI Cashgrab
>> Mitchell also said NSI recently started offering a privacy feature, which for about $5 lets domain owners keep their e-mail address confidential. <<

How about just not posting the e-mail addresses in the whois lookup? Or use something similar to Yahoo, which doesn't actually post the e-mail address, but rather a link that must be clicked on to get the e-mail address (some ASP/PHP/etc. code there, I presume..)

As it is, it sounds like NSI is using spam as an excuse to:
a) sell their "privacy features"
b) go cheap on the bandwidth they require to run the whois.
