Here’s a very interesting article in a UK paper about reduced training for new doctors, and the lack of NHS jobs for them when they graduate.

Hi Laurel–

Thanks for the interesting article.� And yet the NHS continues to hire physicians from outside the UK and give them preference in the immigration process.� Makes one wonder.

Cheers–

That’s why if you’ve ever noticed, my e-mail addy when posting is a hotmail account. For whatever reason, I get very little spam or junk on it which is nice.

You can also use http://www.mailinator.com. When you are registering with a service, just make up a username @mailinator.com. When mailinator receives an email for that address it will create a mailbox. Go to mailinator and read your mail. In two days that account will be automatically deleted.

NOTE: There is no security around that account. Anyone who knows what name you created can go an view the mail. So this should be used for throw away things only.

Interesting.� Thanks for the tip.

Uhm, if I use Gmail or Outlook to read email, I can register, than promptly add the Trib to my junk list and never see an email from them.

I’m happy to report, I didn’t go and see Sicko this weekend. I will. But I wanted to see something less thought provoking. So, I saw Live Free or Die Hard. Which was a ton of fun. And a nice paeon to all the “analog” people out there. It’s a nice bit of nostalgia, feeding the egos of people who are still pre-computer. Mostly nonsense, but why not? Those people buy movie tickets too.

Yes, that’s a good tip. Also, you can try bugmenot.com where people share logins for sites that require registration. You might have to try a few before you find a working login, but I was able to get into Chicago Tribune this way. pookmail.com is pretty interesting, it provides disposable email addresses and you don’t even have to fill out anything to create them. I rarely use it though because I already have a few accounts with the free email providers.

Doc, here’s another way to deal with those types of sites-go to http://www.bugmenot.com-you provide the web site address, and in most cases, they provide valid id’s and passwords that will work (unless it’s an obscure site).. it’s a good way to go if it’s a site you aren’t likely to use much.

Also check out BugMeNot at:

http://www.bugmenot.com/

There you can find shared logins for many sites that make you jump through hoops to register.

On the computer tip: actually, the easiest way to accomplish a “throw away” email address is to use Gmail, which allows an unlimited number of such addresses using a very simple means.

Say your email address is myrealemail@gmail.com, and you want to register with the Chicago Tribune without using this email. All you have to do is register with the Tribune using myrealemail+chicagotribune@gmail.com.

Gmail will essentially ignore the “+” (and anything after it) for purposes of email delivery – but with the added bonus of being able to create filters/rules based upon whatever is after the “+”.

It is a perfect solution to the myriad registration-required websites.

(Hope that makes sense; I’ve not had my coffee yet this morning!
Hi Chip–

If you do this, will all the junk emails from all the outfits you’ve registered with make it through to your regular gmail account?
