I prefer to blackhole everything in a Zoho account with the catchall[1] feature turned on, so I can just type random crap as the username when signing up like:

asdferhgg@generic.domain

The trick is to keep that domain renewed for as long as you're alive so nobody can take new ownership and pwn all your accounts as a result.

I do that too! (hence the service this service is build on). I even have a domain especially for stuff that is going to spam me.

Back when i was still a kid in school without access to a credit card i used a lot such services as the one above. Especially forwarding ones, as i like to have any details in my central inbox. I realize that the majority of the HN crowd has found better solutions meanwhile ;)
