A great way to avoid spam

Not the Hickory Smoke flavored meat log, I mean your email spam. How many times have you went to download a piece of software or register with a blog but they force you to give them your email? I can understand that they want your email for marketing purposes but by requiring it they are forcing you to go through all the trouble of going to a free email host and making yet another address that you will forget about in a day or two. I have so many throw-away email addresses now, that I have started a list to track them all. I came across this FireFox plugin today that will make them unnecessary. It is fantastic!  In essence, it produces a random email address that you can hand out and then any mail you get to that address deletes when the mailbox self-destructs 6 hours later. No muss, no fuss and totally anonymous. You can get the full description on the download link I provided above. I hope it helps.
