If any become "contaminated", it will be ruthlessly binned. Even with the subsidiary names, I'd recommend not using the "Fred159" type of name; they obviously start with Fred1 and continue to Fred999999, as I quickly found out. Use something like Fred159xy.
i'd got an address where I just randomly hit a few letters and numbers and it gets no spam. I've only given the addy out to a few people. they either reply or have it in their address book so the name of it doesn't matter
