You have thus far given no demonstration that a registry would in any way

such occurrences.
Pete,
To repeat, the real debate here is about parental controls on
registrations, to protect folks from coordinating on use of mechanisms that
do not have approval from experts, versus an approach that simply wants to
permit easy registration.
For those feeling the need to be parental, it does not matter whether the
danger is real. All that matters is that the fear is.
