I create a new email address for any online forms I sign up to (i.e. in this
case [EMAIL REMOVED] then if I ever get spam to that address, I simply
cancel it. It's good for spotting which companies break their promise for
not selling on the lists - any company who does that never manages to send
me another email, so not only are they selling list with a dead address, but
they also lose me from their own mailing list. If more people did that, I
think it might work wonders on the spam mailing lists businesses?
