Nice.

I wonder; if you used this with a "one-payment-only" disposable card, to buy stuff without being harassed by subsequent "newsletters" ... is there a way this could backfire spectacularly by virtue of it being a public address?

I'm assuming the answer is probably yes, but I can't think of an obvious reason why.

EDIT: Hm, on second thought, I guess at a minimum you'd have to give a valid address to buy stuff. Unless it's one of those "give us your email to register" at a physical point of sale. Or unless you have things delivered to a local shop you trust or something. dunno.
