For everyone who feels this way, does it bother you that this
information becomes easy to harvest for e-mail and postal mail spamming
and scamming? Do you have any suggestions to address that problem?

Saying I can buy a P.O. box doesn't impress me and a special e-mail box
is an even worse solution: you have to pay attention to the contents
because you can lose your domain by blowing off mail in it,  but nearly
everything in it will be spam.
