Now we're all going to think that you've already 
rejected several prize candidates because you 
thought they had one foot in the grave, or because 
you thought they were still in high-school...

Hmmmm.... would kimjones need to get a new e-mail 
address every year?

I used to use a sheaf of free e-mail addresses that 
differed only by the included number, so I could 
track which lists and online applications/sign-ups 
were leading to spam.  That is, when filling out 
a form at some site, I'd include an e-mail address 
that I used only for that site. If that address 
started getting spam, I knew that the owners of 
the store or service were selling addresses to spammers, 
and I could just kill that address. . . and stop 
supporting the creeps who sold me out.  

I stopped doing it when my ISP instituted very solid 
spam filtering.
