not a win but

after seeing a comp on facebook where you had to enter your email address on their wall i thought it might be wise to remind new people that most accounts now offer disposable email address's

yahoo do via mail options

you can set up an email for an individual comp like.......

letmewin-studento@yahoo.co.uk
or
ferventcomper-morrissons@yahoo.co.uk

they are marked as a separate: colour when they arrive in your mail box so are easy to spot...

yahoo allows you to have 500 disposable address's all delivered to your main account...

you can spot which company has sold your mail to a company offering viagara etc and if you start getting spammed you delete that disposable one with a few clicks...( or delete it when the comp ends)

this protects the integrity of your main comping email address...:T

if there is somewhere that this advice is already or should be please advise
Thank you to all the posters and the forum guides for all your hard work it is appreciated ...

Jan starting off as the year will pan out ...nothing lol
