The moral is, as soon as you give out your email address, someone is going to try to sell you something.

True, but email addresses can be changed and you can opt out of spam.  More and more places ask for cell phone numbers which the kid will have for the rest of his life.  I tell my kids do not give out your cell phone except to friends and family.

Marketers now use mobile phone numbers as a sort of shadow social security number and a de facto "national ID".  Sure, it can be changed, but most people don't.  I advise my son to protect his phone number as if it were his social.
