I didn't see many comments on this thought... bad idea. Not only is
creating an email account easy (heck, with just gmail I've got 100
invitations in one account, and I've got ~5 accounts, and IIRC, new
accounts get 15 invitations) and free (Gmail, Yahoo, MSN...), but you
don't even have to register an account to get an email, evidenced by
mailinator.com: Pick a name, append "@mailinator.com" (or any of
mailinator's aliases), and you've got a valid email address for
receiving only, the inbox of which anybody can access.
