Sure, I’ll take a gmail invite. You know my e-mail address, right? ;)

I don’t like using a temporary e-mail address for signing in to web pages. The reason being, if they are going to ask me for my e-mail address, I’m going to assume they are going to want my actual e-mail. If I give them a temporary e-mail address, I’m just cheating their system. I’d rather not use their system than cheat it.

If there were a note on the login page that stated perlmonks doesn’t need a permanent e-mail address, I would get a login that way, but right now it the “please note” section does imply that someone may want to contact me in the future.

Using the Anonymous Monk login to post usually isn’t a problem, but Wassercrats does gets a higher than average number of anonymous responses, which makes it difficult for him to figure out who is who. However, I’m not going to cheat perlmonks for his benefit.
