   Oh dear, I'm getting advance fee fraud spam to an email address I used exclusively for an event put on by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).

   LANL, as in where they built the first nuke (and the demon core thing happened), leaked email addresses to spammers.

     @ryanc definitely the best feature of creating unique emails… pinpointing where the leak is.

     The second best feature is *obviously* the laugh you get from noticing that some online service with a bad password policy ends up having more entropy in the username than in the password. 😬
