I would use Mailinator: http://mailinator.com/

Note that emails sent to Mailinator are public.

You can now remove your account. Since we don't send any emails yet, there is not option to disable email updates. But I will be pro-actively adding this option soon so that people can opt out before hand.

The SPAM button in your e-mail client can take good care of that, should you find yourself in that position.

It's fine for me to throw eggs at your house because you own a mop.

Or its like me sending you a letter in the mail and you throwing it out...?

Pretty sure cleaning up after thrown eggs is significantly more work, and more public than hitting the spam button

Relax, I'm not defending their actions, I'm explaining that you shouldn't feel bad about pressing "SPAM" in that case.

There has been a subtle pr campaign to convince people you should press "unsubscribe" on any unwanted mail instead of hitting SPAM, lest you ruin it for everybody. I'm saying: don't believe the hype. In this case, just press SPAM.

The option to delete your account will be included soon. We currently do not send any emails at all. But when/if we do, there will be the option to opt out.
