I'm using my handle "CountZero" for years now and I do have a e-mail address "CountZero@???????" (that I never use), but I cannot remember ever having received spam on this e-mail address. One good trick to avoid spam is to refrain as much as possible from using a real e-mail address when subscribing to discussion groups, ... I found 10 Minute Mail a very good solution. It makes you an email address which is valid for 10 minutes only (without going through the whole administration of opening a Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, ... account) and that is usually long enough to receive the password or activation string. Devon Hillard --who runs this service-- has the following interesting comments: When I launched 10minutemail.com, tons of forum admins decried the idea. They screamed that it would let spammers on to their forums, and that they wouldn't sell e-mail lists to spammers, etc... CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
