So marketing is now deciding how to discuss technical issues with
customers? Hmmm. That precisely confirms my assumption, actually: the
wrong tool was chosen for marketing reasons.
Anyway, I've made my opinions clear, so I'll shut up about it now.

Yes. It was an attempt at a "joke"; I do not, obviously, actually plan to
do that, nor do I encourage or allow customers to give false information.
The "joke" does, however, represent the opinions of many end-users.
Ironically, if WHOIS were restricted to parties who had a reasonable need
to know it, instead of being public, end users would be much more likely
to provide valid contact information.
