    <p>I run the <a href="https://thisisnotmy.email">thisisnotmy.email</a> email service.</p>
<h2 id="what-s-it-all-about">What's it all about?</h2>
<p>Don’t you hate it when people, businesses, random telephone callers, etc. ask you for your email address out of the blue under the ruse of “providing you a better service”?
It's early days but I'm hoping to be able to offer <em>something</em> for people to
use eventually.</p>
<span id="continue-reading"></span>
<p>Wouldn’t it be great to confidently give them your email address, but with a slight passive aggressiveness to make the situation more awkward for them, and less awkward for you‽</p>
<p>Enter thisisnotmy.email. thisisnotmy.email is a fully functional email service. When someone asks you for your email address, just say:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“Sure, it’s my name at this is not my, all one word, dot email”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And let them decide whether it’s worth continuing on with this worthless data collecting routine.</p>
