I hate to say it, but I'm going to use this as my throwaway now.

Meh.

Throwaway email address receives spam, is sometimes used by random strangers as a throwaway.

INCONCEIVABLE!

Wait until they see how much junk mail it gets NOW.

I have a not common, but, not uncommon name that I made as my gmail name, and even though I have a different gmail account now, I have stuff sent to that fwd to my current gmail acct.   I get stuff all the time sent to "other" people with that name.   Even more odd though that the "parents" of other people with my name sending me vacation photos is what are obviously people WITH my name, using the email address as their email address on their airline reservations, online website orders, etc.  And it isn't like they used my CC or anything, they were just too careless to not use their middle initial or number or whatever they probably have that distinguishes their gmail address from mine when setting up the acct.

I've generally just let those go, and unsubscribed the email address to the websites, although I was tempted one time to reroute some cool looking RC helicopters someone bought from QVC to my house.

Yet he still got more BIE than subby.

Hmm. Assuming eighteen's spam filter works exactly as efficiently as does the spam filter on my gmail account, I'm guessing it got a LOT more than 4,382 emails over those 10 years. Most of them just got deleted every 30 days is all.

I read this as a man squatted on a dictionary.

The New Yorker has officially gone to shiat

Headline gave me the mental image of a man taking a shiat on a dictionary.

That article was boring as balls.  Did anyone read the whole thing?  Did anything interesting end up happening?

For a second I was thinking "Dorothy Parker is rolling over in her grave" and then I remembered that when she was hung over she would mail in a 5,000 word essay on something trite like waiting for a phone call.  They've always done fluff, and as fluff goes they do it better than most.

Same here.  Although its not my name.  I made up a name, not even that common.  Just the first thing that popped in my head so I could have a throwaway email addy.

There are like 5 or more people out there who think their email address is the one I set up.

Strange.
