Agreed!

Nice story: One of the throwaway email hosts started receiving a great 
many requests for accounts, and the admin determined it was likely from 
someone looking to determine domains being so used, in order to block 
them. Sign up for an account with XYZ? Not with a throwaway you don't.

Future such requests were then fed back the throwaway domains ... and a 
few normal ones. Sign up for an account with XYZ? Not with a gmail.com 
you don't!
