Do you sell our email addy's?

[Lartamas]

I noticed I can't use a hotmail addy in my ersonal profile and I was wanting to update my email address. I never use my private email on forums or any where. Just my relatives have it. I found I get no spam that way...
Do you keep our email addresses safe from spybots etc etc. Do you sell them to anyone?

Email addresses are never sold.

The email address I use here is pretty much only used on Anandtech, and it gets plenty of spam. I don't think they sell them though. That reminds me to make it non-visible again though...

Does that mean that they aren't randomly given away to hot aspiring models who are sidelining working as Hooters girls part-time either? Darn. 🙁

Give me your email address, and I'll hand it out. Should give me an excuse to go to hooters. 😀

The visible email address in your profile has the word "REMOVE" placed into it, so that harvesters can't get a correct address. Of course...all they'd have to do is remove that word....soooo....

Just get a mailaddy like remove@myhost.com and you'll be fine then 😉

That said, you'll get used to the spam, just get a good spamfilter and all will be well.
I get like ~1500 junkmails per day to my two main accounts, but my spamfilter fixes 99% of that 🙂
