Some of the replies here are reminding me of Wart’s lessons on government from Merlin in TH White’s “The Once and Future King” which I read 45+ years ago.(it is a little foggy)
The ants were pretty prescient.

No, it should not be, which is why it isn't.
When joining an established community, one must obey the rules of that community.

Would it help if Bob painted his face blue and wore a kilt?

You're right, it's not free, as in you ain't free to be an a**hole here.
But it's free in other regards, like be a valuable resource that doesn't cost you a penny.
Between you and me, nobody really like the freedom to be an a**hole, you know.

To some (many?), freedom (as in freedom) means "no rules". That's not "improving" things.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Your concern is about giving out an email that can somehow be abused. Temp email IDs are good for some things but not all (as in this case.)
One option you have is to purchase a domain - let's call it myfree.com. Now set up a "catchall" account - so any email sent to an email that ends with @myfree.com is received by that account.
When you sign up at any site, use the site name as the recipient - so CodeProject@myfree.com. Or StackOverflow@myfree.com, etc. This has multiple benefits:
1) If a site makes your email available to others (intentionally or otherwise) - you can just block emails sent to that address.
2) If someone hacks the site and gets your email - see #1
3) You can always remember the email ID you used for a site.
4) Unless someone knows that you have a catchall account, no one will associate one email ID with another - especially if you don't set up a web site to go with it (or set up a fully bogus one to further confuse.)
5) You can especially use this for financial or similar sites. Then you know if you get an email sent to anything other than Chase@myfree.com it is definitely NOT from Chase bank.
So this provides you with the benefits of the temp emails you like with the obscurity you desire (and some additional benefits too.)
Just a thought.....

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

To be fair, it was a beautiful clue.

I am offended ...
That my dirty mind got the solution immediately.

I am not up early enough. And most of the time I am not nearly smart enough. But this one I got.
HAHAHA tells you where my mind goes.
To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer

When I thought of the solution I thought this can't be the right answer, but it was all I could come up with.
When I read on to find out it was indeed correct I must admit it made me laugh.
The clincher for me was the first word: silicone vs silicon. A delightful clue!

I am sorry, I know the Soapbox is closed.
I just could not resist the temptation. As long as my message is obfuscated, it might just evade the fierce Lounge moderators...

I said this yesterday, what is happening shows what would happen if The West Wing were written by the creator of Only Fools And Horses.

Usually someone will be a caretaker for a few days, and not for a few months, as is announced in this case.

I have to laugh. What the Brits call "scandals worthy of bringing down our government", us Yanks call "Thursday".

...and that's something to be proud of.
Oh, wait...
