You do have the option of making your domain 'private listing'... Which is what I have done for every single domain I have... I own about 107 domains, all private listed, it costs a grip but if you purchase in bulk... the price can then be cut almost in half, also depending greatly on the number of years purchased...
I have yet to come across this either, not that I have looked for it or anything but I did check however to see if you are able to still purchase a .US name, which I can... but I think if Suave is one of the hosts on godaddy.com radio, I'm pretty sure he's not BS'ng... godaddy owns... :tired: so does ev1servers.net :surprised:
I for one will only purchase .com, .net. and .org names... maybe a .edu and if I could a .gov hehe...
But that is it.
I sold one of my domains lately for about 7,000$ USD, which pretty much covered my expenses on all those domains.

not to mention the other ones that I have auctioned off... Anyhow...
good luck in your domain nabbing.
