Somehow google likes to send email to me, even if it's not directly addressed to my address - if it's just close, it will often get routed to me (I guess that they consider this a feature?) I can't tell you how much stuff I get, including password and account details, links to photos (some I can't even stomach to look at), and countless other drivel from people's day-to-day lives, where they would like to remain anonymous. So, again.. thanks a LOT! I appreciate it. ;-) Jeez, thanks for this article… my email IS ACTUALLY ihatespam [at] gmail dot com and I just want to thank you for helping to increase the amount of other people’s crap spam that I already get.

Basically, I use a catchall on a dedicated domain, that way I can use the business name as the acct (ie danperry@thedomain.com). I've found its one of the best ways to avoid spam (believe it or not), as well as identify those who are propagating/onselling/exposing your email addr. This is one of my pet hates.

Heh, I did something similar at a resort once. I was asked for my name to be entered in a contest. I gave John D'Oh and had a few good laughs when John D'Oh was called to the stage - repeatedly - later that night. I like it! Heh, I did something similar at a resort once.
