The really sad mistake is to
1) Be paranoid about using your normal email address when signing up to anything 😕
2) Work for a firm that censors webmail providers such as hotmal, yahoo... ðŸ˜
3) Make up a random email address 🙄
and finally, after leaving yourself logged on for a week and then rebooting
4) Find you have forgotten what that address was 😳
This happened to a friend of mine; I think it was one of the very first games I played - it certainly gave me my first timeout 🙂
As you can see, I made the opposite mistake of not obfuscating my user name at all. Ho hum.
