Re: Best to have a backup plan

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.

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.
