> If you'd like to give your email address but don't want it widely public, take out a free "junk" email account on Yahoo, Hotmail, or something similar. When you fill out the account form, don't put your real name or age, etc in it. And make sure you carefully uncheck the boxes that share your email address as a default feature. Otherwise, you'll have your junk email box filled with literal junk - spam.

> This will stop it from showing in a search.I used to have a yahoo email account but it expired I tried renewing it and everytime I try or even try to re-register I go through the trouble of filling out the form I hit submit and poof! back to registration page, as if I never filled it out at all. I'm not all that computer literate I guess.
