Ditto.  I go a step further in that if I ever fill anything out on the net,
I use either a modified version of my address, like merlin-ms@...   My mail
server will automatically create a sub box of my own called "ms" if a
message is recieved to that address.  Then I just check it with an IMAP
client every week or so, so I can see if I have recieved any spam in those
boxes, and then I know who sold my name.  IE< on my comdex badge, I
registered as admin-comdex@netnevada.net.  That way, when I get junk email
in that box, I'll know where it originated.
