"I do not have an email address" is not a reasonable state of being. The way you can resolve this is via email, and you should obtain one.

I'm not going to hand out my phone number to internet services, I get enough phone spam already.

Sorry :)

  • You should be apologizing to yourself. This stance, which I'm sure you see as reasonable (it's not), is directly causing you a problem, a problem that you're here asking for help to resolve (but it's already been flagged). You're free not to get an email address, but you're also the one rate limited to 5/day, so it seems the ball is in your court.

    The idiom that comes to mind is "cutting off your nose to spite your face."

    • I'm sorry, I posted some questions about Hackernews, on Hackernews.

      I do not see how I should suddenly become customer to some unrelated external services which could literally cause my phone to ring all day just in order to be entitled to ask some questions?

      It seems you're escalating the tone here, which I do not intend to participate in.
