time over effort.  it's a waste of time.  you probably don't get much
if you own your own domain and have a semi-obscure/well kept email
address.  the majority of phishing is targeted at free web based mail
services like gmail, hotmail, etc, so if you go down that route you
could be filling in data 24/7.

yes, i could mail from somewhere else other than gmail, but i prefer
to keep my email addresses separate for different uses ;-)

just remind non-computer literate folk of the pitfalls with phishing
and spam, etc.  maybe a change in email would help... yada yada yada.

can't believe i've wasted time in replying :)  the irony.
