If you really want to be not anonymous, but not deluged with SPAM or give out
personal information, there are legal and open ways to do it.

1. Open a gmail account which you only use for DNS.

2. Spend the $50 a year to have google run your domain email.

3. Get a post office box, or one of the "Suite xxx" boxes at a mail
    forwarder. 

4. If it is real business, use your registered address for the business.

5. Get a google voice or IPKALL phone number and post that. Have them
    go to voice mail.

no, it's a clear question. Every shady or illegal deal I have seen uses
hidden DNS, usually from DNS by proxy. While I am sure that there are some
people who do it who are not crooks, scammers, SPAMers, and porn vendors,
it's very few and no one will believe you.
