One of the interesting things I did when tweaking something on a website was to include a piece of code which does 
exactly that.

Each visitor is given a different email address.  It's made up of their IP address, the Unix time and a partial hash 
value, encrypted with a private Serpent-256 key.

Decrypting those addresses has been interesting.
