Re: File upload
Earthlink sold my email address.
Also I have noticed a lot of companies wanting to have your email address, like Block Buster. DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM For the love of GOD do not ever give out your Email address to any business. THEY SELL the information.

Re: File upload
I have a second e-mail address that I use wherever I expect it to draw spam.

Re: File upload
i guess i have a good ISP that doesn't sell addresses. i'm only getting one peice of spam every once and a while, and it's from 'the national book review service'. i'm not labeling it as junk, though, because they might come up with something i want to read.
