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.

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.
