You're right, it's not 100% anonymous. But my name's not in the domain, and I use WhoisGuard with my registrar. It's reasonably effective, cheap, and a low effort way to deflect the bots and identify suspicious activity.

This could be more easily done by simply signing up for gmail with an address that doesn't contain your name.
