I'm sick of getting bounces from people putting in bullshit email addresses,,,do you think we're going to sell your twatty hotmail address on or something?  I'm going to have to turn on emali verification now so you'll not get your password if you put in false details.   Sorry, but I'm sick of wasting my time, plus I wlil get bounces EVERY time you get a PM as well, fuck that.

Just a though. When I registered the box that you have to enter your details was a really pale colour and I couldn't see what I was typing. Perhaps people aren't fucking about entering a non-existant addy, they just cant see the letters so just accidently mistyped? Perhaps not though, I'll bugger off now.

No people are putting in stuff like "thisisafakeaddress@hotmail.com" etc.  Pain in the arse as I get more than enough rubbish in my email.  Good point about the fields though, I need to fix all those again so you can see what you're typing.

More to the point, it helps slow down the trolls as well.

I put in something a bit like thisisafakeaddress@hotmail.com, but it actually is my email address.  I trust my eyes are not damned?

"A bit like" just isn't good enough, young fella-me-lad!  I don't know; the youth of today ... grumble ... no standards ... mumble ... we were never like that ... moan ... good old days ... gargle, spit ... hmph.

I slightly modified my email address so I could make this account.  I fucked up first time when I signed up as 'Concerned' by accident and couldn't create a new account without changing the email address on the old one.  I only added an 'e' on the end of it.  Sorry about that but I don't think you'll get bounces from it as I think it's still a valid email address for my freeserve account.

Oh and CaB is the last place I'd expect to sell my email address to spammers.
