Or, run an internet forum and wait a while.
I've been signed up to so much over the years that I mostly ignore it now, just unsub from the things I can and mark as spam everything else.
BTW, if anyone implements a "Thank you for signing up" email, please please please put the original IP address used to sign up in the email along with the "If this is not you". The few services that have done this have enabled me to identify (from my own web server logs) the users of the forum(s) that have been peeved at me on those days. That at least gives me the chance to talk to them and stem the flow of porn emails (or whatever they've decided to sign me up to).
