What's to remember? The form requires input; on many forms I use
periods (.) if it is an alpha field and 123-456-7890 if it is looking for
a tel number (US). This lets the person looking at the bug report
know that my number is none of his/her business. Sometimes the street name 
is mindyourownbusiness or restricted info drive.

Hmmm... in many "relasionships" nowdays, someone is getting screwed.
Seriously, obscuring one's personal data is not the same as being a 
butthead.. well, maybe a little, but since no one needs the info, they 
shouldn't ask for it in the first place.
