I'm sick of giving my email address to every freaking website I visit - sign up for this, sign up for that - verify your email by clicking on a link. Shit! Next thing I know, my 6 month old gmail account is getting hammered by SPAM from God-who-knows-where and good luck tracking down the fucker that sold my address to some lame spammer.
So, I got fed up enough to do something about it.

OneOffEmail.Com is a site that will give you an email address that you can use to checkout while online shopping at a retailer or when you signup on some forum that wants you to verify by clicking on a link. The email address is only good for 7 days, after that, no more email.
When you first hit OneOffEmail.com it'll give you an account that you can click on to copy and paste where ever. Click on the link to the page and you'll see your "inbox" where new messages will be posted.
Be sure to bookmark this page, once you lose the address you can't get it back.
OneOffEmail.Com is a read-only setup; meaning you can only get emails here, you cannot reply to them. However, you can forward the messages to regular email address, check out the headers of the message or delete the message entirely.
After 7 days, the account will be closed and emails purged.
So, don't give out your email address this holiday season, OneOffEmail it and don't worry about dealing with the SPAM all year long afterwards.

Okay, so now that you have the sales pitch; keep in mind I just put this up and still have some work to do. You'll notice the whole read email pages benefits from AJAX technology, making it nice and fast with no page reloads (just refresh to check for new mail).
If you notice any problems, post here and I'll check into them; but overall the system should be stable enough to use.
