You might want to check the site again and download one of the databases to see everything that you're revealing. It ain't just e-mail addresses.

why use your wifes? Isn't junkmail what free hot mail accounts are for?

Good point:

I'm sorta getting back at her for all the crap email I get due to her using my computer prior to me purchasing her laptop; based on this I'm going to have to start setting up hotmail accounts for her and I.

Like most people in my profession, before I sign up for anything online I try /admin. And if its pwd protected, I even try some lite "script-kiddie" brute-force. Its scary what you'll find sometimes.... :(

Sneaky? Not really. They have a right to try to market to whoever they want. If they had millions of us all trying to get their free crap, I too would've have put up a notice like that. It's not sneaky. It's called decent business....
