Well, you've just confirmed that the address exists. So I hope those were real sites, with morals, and not spammers seeing which addresses are valid before spamming.

I'm only talking about trusted sites, whose domain I have checked out before clicking on any emailed link.

Good.

(And yes, you're probably OK, unless some semi-spammer marketting company is running their email campaigns.)

It's just irksome then that someone's using my name and email address to sign up to things then. Next time I get told I've been sent a free sample, I might click on "oh noes - forgot password!" and get one, log in, and find out what mailing address the not-Bridget used.

Now that's an idea.

Not all sites ask for postal address ...

I wonder if there is a site or other mailing-type thing where the 'do NOT send my details to other places' was infinitesimally small?

I guess its a friendship braeker of a thing to do. If its just some garden variety asshole what is there to do? Turn up on their doorstep and embarass them in front of their neighbours. Only recommended if your as good in a fist-fight as Harlan Elison
