Difficult registering with disposable email address

mgladys

I quite like MSE but, given the density of advertising and the revenue generating ID strings in some of the clickable links, there's no way I'm about to trust you with my real email address, or one that I may use more than once. Sorry, but that's the way I feel about the possibility of being involuntarily tracked and marketed at.

rather than force us to be up front and personal, can you please acknowledge that there are one or two of us who aren't really in to "Web2.0hrea" (See the online mag "The Register" and search) can you please relinquish your rejection of signups using services like mailmetrash.com, mailinator.com and the rest?

There are a few of us out here who are not enthusiastic about blah blah marketing (there's a car showroom that managed to make me go elsewhere for a new motor, purely on the strength of idiot marketing AT me) and are cautious about to whom we give our real addresses.

Hell, you guys should know that, being so (apparently) behind the consumer!

Fortunately, there are still one or two disposable email providers out there that you have not blocked so here, for the moment, I am.

Maestro.

i just use an AOL address as a "throwaway" - I don't see why you need to use any fancy service for it, just use any old address from one of the main free dot com ones. Solved?
