Interesting.. I didn't realize that, as I've never bothered to pay the extra fee for the "private" registration. But I do use a less-important GMail account for the email contact, so at least my main email doesn't get swamped. But the phone number on there is actually my personal cellphone, which could be annoying if a lot of people started calling, but so far that doesn't seem to happen.

(Can't reply to this below).

Want to point out though that once the info is slurped and appears elsewhere you won't be able to put the genie back in the bottle.

I many times pull up old info for domains in search.

Now that's a fair point. Now that you have me thinking about this, maybe I'll make it a point to change it sooner than later after all. :-)

Edit: Done. Thanks for the nudge, larrys.

Use google voice number that forwards to your cellphone. Or better use a google voice number that doesn't go anywhere.

Sounds like good advice. I'd invest the time to do that, if I had an actual problem with getting too many unsolicited / spam phone calls. But it just doesn't happen at the moment. If I get bored one day, maybe I'll take the time to switch it over.
