Don't flatter yourself. If you put your home address in a public
repository that can be accessed by anyone with half a clue then more
fool you. Anyone with any sense registers their domain at their
accountants address or failing that a P.O Box.

I think you misspelt "anyone with something to hide..."

I think that's unfair

especially from a person who spends his spare time discussing the
minutiae of Stalker Protection legislation with government

Some stalking prevention measures can be very effective, but hiding
where you've been living for years (rather than where you moved to last
week to avoid the stalker) is extremely low on the list, and in our
modern big-data[3] world virtually impossible anyway.

Yes, I'd like to see people thinking more seriously about whether
people's names and addresses should be scrapeable from Companies House,
electoral roll, planning permission applications[1], and various other
places[2] plus DVLA, Nominet, Verisign and so on. But that's a lost
cause at the moment because the law says it's preferable for the public
to be able to check up on who you really are, than to protect these
persons on the registers from stalkers.

[1] yes Mr Hayter, that's you.
