A turn off for many buyers. They look like bogus addresses. Makes much more sense to take the effort to get a gmail account that looks legit and use that to filter. Then if you get to much spam simply get another gmail and change the whois. Etc.
The forwarding thing sounds like a good idea. Not turning off people interested in one of my domain names is an awesome bonus.
Use google voice number that forwards to your cellphone. Or better use a google voice number that doesn't go anywhere.

Want to point out though that once the info is slurped and appears elsewhere you won't be able to put the genie back in the bottle.
I many times pull up old info for domains in search.
Edit: Done. Thanks for the nudge, larrys.
