I don't understand.  I haven't tried to create an email acct w/ Google in yrs, but as I understand it, unless you have a burner phone, a new acct won't be anonymous.

1) Is it important to have anonymous email to request bridges?  Seriously.  I've never done it.
2) If (1) = yes, --> GOTO (4)
3) No sweat
4) Google is the wrong provider for you. :D
