You know how at chain stores they ask you to give them your telephone number? As though making a purchase entitles them to your personal information? My mother (otherwise a genius) just gives them her cell number, *every* time, because she doesn't want the hassle of telling them No. I've been nagging and nagging about it forever, and when the text ads start rolling in, maybe she'll believe me.

My best friend wemblee's mother got one of those text ads about a year ago, advising the soft-spoken, homebody, meek middle-aged lady to CuM ChEcK OuT Da BLiNG bLInG!!1! I laughed for days.
You know, I can give you a temporary email address that will bounce to your actual address (something like mq@divagoth.com) long enough for you to desubscribe, then you can tell me you're done, and I'll yoink the redirect to your real email address off of my domain. That way, when the spam hits divagoth.com looking for the email address you gave them, the redirect won't exist anymore, and it'll bounce back to them telling 'em that you don't have a mailbox on divagoth.com...
}:) Just let me know if you'd like to do that and I can have it set up within 10 minutes of getting the reply.
Or, if you want to leave your email address out of it altogether, I can set you up with a POP/webmail account through my server. Lots of different ways to work it out really. :)
