Unless there is a specific reason they need an email address (emailing a password for instance), I normally just give a made-up email address.

Anyway, I hate it when (and I know of one particular site that does this) you are looking for help with something, find an article on the web, start to read it. This "This is good, this will help a lot", carry on reading it and then halfway through a sentance, you suddenly get "To read the rest of this article, please register". When you click "Register", the first thing you are asked for is your credit card number. BTW, before you get the wrong idea, the site I am referring to is a PC help site.

The worst thing I have done is actually similar to BB31's daughter. I joined Britannia. I saw the ads, didn't read the small print, thought "£3 .99 for a CD, that's cheap", and totally ignored the possibly hundreds of pounds I would have to spend on possibly unwanted CDs to get that £3.99 CD...
