While I approve of you guarding your privacy, you may want to be careful about doing this with domain names - many registrars require that the WHOIS information is up to date, and can theoretically take them back if it isn't. I'd imagine the same holds for domainsbyproxy and the like.

So what? All you need is the initial email to work, nobody is going to notice fake whois that quickly. No person is going to show up at the address you list to verify that it's actually your address.

I've used fake whois records for a while and have never had any problems. I did make my main domain "real" a few years ago to avoid any problems, however.
