Haha. I was busted last February for doing one of them "rolling California stops" at an intersection. Trying to investigate the "private" company is not easy. Big Bro may have popped me into their terrorist dababase by now, (I now use shopping bags or ski masks to alter my appearance when I do a drive-by).

The hotmail aliases are much like Google aliases. I do not like the concept of having to manually type in an alias (or try to get an alias that is already taken.) My preference is with "Cocoon Mailslots" http://getcocoon.com/ - where you can select either a new email address that is randomly generated (that appends to a Cocoon email address) or select an address (that was previously created) from the dropdown menu (of nicknames that you have already used.) All mailslots are contained within the Cocoon GUI - and if one mailslot gets too much spam - simply delete it and you never have to mess with that email address/nickname again... All mail is sent to your Cocoon inbox. You can allow Cocoon to auto-name the mailslot according to website or you have the option to give the mailslot a nickname that you choose. This is the very best spam solution that I have ever encountered and it 100% works for me. Hoping that this comment will post since the other two apparently did not...
