Hmm, interesting idea. If people with hotmail addresses, for example, also have addresses through their ISPs, then I could just disallow the former...

It wouldn't be public unless you chose to post it. But still it might deter others, I think that would be the main issue.

AOL only lets you have a certain cumulative total number of aliases, or only a certain number at any given time? And isn't it easy just to open a new AOL account if you want?
