One thing I recommend, since we are on the topic, is to sign up for a gmail or yahoo email address that will be used only for these scenerios. This is what I call the "junk email account". Always use that account when giving out your email address to anyone or any website you don't know.

Also, make sure that account's password is something different from any other password you may use. That way, you can give that account out, and if the forum requires email verification (such as this forum does) you can still log into that account and complete the verification. Just don't ever use that account for any "legitimate" purpose, and you never have to check it, except in instances where you are "verifying" your address. For example, my junk account is kidder014@yahoo.com and I don't mind posting it for everyone, and every search engine bot to see... but don't try contacting me on that account, I never check it. (If you do this, be sure to log into the account at least once a month or so, just so it doesn't get closed for inactivity, yahoo is famous for that)

Another trick I can mention is when you are filling out a form online, or signing up for anything that includes your email address or your mailing address, you can give yourself a middle initial or a variant of your name that identifies the company or website you are giving it to. For example, if my name is Bob Smith and I'm signing up on texaschlforum.com, I might list my name as C.H. Smith, or Bob T Smichl, or anything that will give me a reminder of the company or website I used that name for. Then, when I start to receive spam emails addressed to C.H. Smith or junk mail in the mailbox for Bob T Smichl, I will know real quick where that SPAMMER got my information from. (Not that texaschlforum.com would be the best example for this scenerio, but still)

As far as phone numbers go, if you are lucky enough to sign up for a grandcentral.com account, this can help solve the phone call issue as well. Unfortunately, Google still has this service on an "invite only" registration, and I do not have any "invites" available on my account. If you can find someone who can invite you into the service, go for it. It's free and can give you a lot of control over incoming calls.
