FWIW, `[email protected]` sounds to me like the email address not of a person but of some "role" or "service" (like `[email protected]` or `[email protected]`), whereas `[email protected]` sounds to me like the (potentially "anonymous") address of a person (of course, maybe it's a bot posing as a person). `[email protected]` would sound to me like the address of a person as well. > A cartoon tiger on a backwards-spelled personal domain. No disclaimer saying > you're not actually Bill Watterson. :-) But Hobbes isn't Bill Watterson either, so I don't think anyone would be confused by `[email protected]` thinking that it belongs to Bill. === Stefan
