Maybe. I just figured that with the programmers frequenting this place, and with even lock-picking discussed in this sub-forum, it fit well enough to be worth trying. And this place didn't require a new account to boot.

... like using it as the mail address on a new account, basically tying control of that account to the mail one? That's the crux here, isn't it... there just isn't anything left if you exclude anything snoop-worthy. The old "I've got nothing to hide" - "Yes, you definitely do" discussion comes to mind.
Anyway, stuff from advertising giants like Google is pretty high on my never-use list. Just the possibility to connect usage data from that to data they get about me from somewhere else is too much, and that's without factoring in Google's bad privacy reputation.
