Interesting point. I used to use here@xxxxxxxxx but I found that  
domain is some sort of second life. I tend to use  
getstuffed@xxxxxxxxxxx just to make the point that I don't appreciate  
them demanding an e-mail address. I figured no one would actually use  
that domain name but in light of your e-mail I just tried it--silly  
me! It gets redirected to an "interesting" web site so those of you  
with sensitive natures may wish to leave it untested.
