Some of us use 3rd party software to monitor our own domains (e.g.
"Watch My Domains" from www.softnik.com, or Snapnames' "Snapshot"), so
randomizing the WHOIS wouldn't be fun, as I'd have to go back to
manually checking things.

It'd be better to attempt to ban/punish the offending uses of the
WHOIS, rather than attempt to get into an "arms race" which one cannot
win in obfuscating the output, which hurts legitimate users of the
standardized WHOIS.

Sincerely,
