Also, what do you mean by domain abuse? I really didn't think I had to
use my REAL address.

What you can do is use a fake address and add ".invalid" at the end.
See for example my (non) address. ".invalid" is a (RFC) *standard* [1]
TLD (Top Level Domain) which is guaranteed to never exist, so basically
you can use <anything>@<anything>.invalid and you'll be OK. The added
advantage of using ".invalid" is that ".invalid"-aware mailers (MUAs)
will not even *try* to send mail to such (non) addresses.

Sweet, I didn't know about the domain stuff. Hope you don't mind, I am
now using your "invalid address". Is that okay?

Well, yes and 'no'. Yes, because if I remember correctly, I also
'borrowed' it from someone else. 'No', because for some searches in (for
example) Google Groups, it will look if everybody with the same
'address' is the same poster. I.e. I would *prefer* it if you could use
something which is (ever so slightly) different. But ... it's a free
world, so ...
