Re: Best to have a backup plan

Your idea really doesn't work. And it "lets the terrorists win" because you can't keep a permanent "personal email address". Over time more people will find out that address, and it will eventually work its way into a spammer's list.

I want my personal email address of the past 10 years to be the same for the next 10 years. Or the next 50 years.

Riddle me that, Congress.

Works for me. I have had the same personal address for 5 years. No spam mail yet.

You are right, it doesn't solve the spamming problem. My solution doesn't solve it...but it does provide a way to avoid the problem until something is done about it.
