Well, you could get a new email address and use it for wow only.  You 
may even have access to one because some email providers allow you to 
add tags to your current email account.

For example, b...@gmail.com can use bob...@gmail.com and he'll still get 
it.  Some providers use a - instead of the + (and a lot don't support 
either)
