Uh, it used to be ".invalid" but until I gat this blasted new
newsreader to allow me to use that, I dunno. Maybe example.org.
Maybe a sneakemail addy I can throw away when it gets spammed to
hell so at least some people can backchannel me for the real addy if
I think they need it.

Hey Doc. Should that quote be attributed to you or what?


Yes, at least mostly, 'Way back when email first started (with long
strings of !...!...! in the addresses), I had "Three boxes..." (altho
I don't recall just which three). Shortly thereafter, someone suggested
a fourth box and someone else the fifth, and I was lucky enough to be
able to condense all five boxes into the one line I've used ever since.

Ok. Duly noted. Maybe Myron Calhoun, et. al. ?
