I have an idea. Everyone just get a gmail (or otherwise "neutral" account) like me.com or gmail.com or yahoo.com and be done with it. J On Feb 22, 2010, at 11:49 AM, Larry Sheldon wrote:
A thing being missed here is this:
A telephone number does not have an obvious affinity with personal intellectual-property-like information. (402 332-XXXX is not obviously a Northwest Bell-USWest-Quest telephone number, but at least two of them are now served by Cox. A person using a 917 NNX-XXXX number in has now turned useful information into noise, but that is not quite the same thing.)
An email address that ends in example.com irrevocably ties the address user to the company Example and may in fact be affirmatively harmful beyond the technical difficulty of implementation.
