I had a similar experince with MySpace. In fact they deleted my account but I kept getting emails from all my former MySpace blog subscriptions and they wouldn’t talk to me since I no longer had an account….

It eventualy dawned me since I have my own server (well I pay a web hosting service for it) that I could just filter it on the server and that solved the problem.

But the fact that I had to go to that extereme made no sense.

I learned my lesson, I later opened a MySpace account and used a “throwaway” address.

i NEVER use my full name online, its always my nickname. i.e. Jim Smith instead of James Smith

Then any new employee will be looking for James Smith.. it works! my google search on my real name, brings back 0 results on me, but my nickname has the front page wrapped up!
