I need opinions on this idea.
I was planning to put a small magnetic bumper sticker on my xB which would say something like...
"Have you seen me? xxxxx@xxxxx.com"
Then I'd sit back and wait for the e-mails to pour in. :)

Emails pouring in? You mean of course the ones you'd like to get, since you're billboarding your email address to everyone?
Let's see: mortgages, Viagra, marital aids, bankruptcy info, Nigerian estate claims for millions of dollars, etc.
:doh: :rofl:

haha....yeah I've though about that too but it would be a throwaway e-mail address :)
Did you say Viagra? hmmmmmm...

I dunno about that.
Even if it's just a throwaway e-mail, if some hacker decided
he didn't like your xB, he could easily just access mostly anything
just by knowing one of your e-mails.
I doubt it would actually happen, but you never know. I suppose
it's your choice if you want to do something like that.

I think it would be funny to hear some of the responses you get... but might get some freaky ones too. :nails:
Just make sure to open your email with a fake identity, don't open attachements, and turn off the option to
receive html based email and graphics. Should be safe from hackers.

Thanks for the tips and advice.
The experiment is on! I'll send updates. :)

Prodigy used to do that years ago. I think AOL may have tried it too.
