I use yahoo mail when I sign up for websites.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have at least 4 gmail accounts. I usually typed something different as a name and a "real" email address, but I don't know if that's strictly needed.

I have two -- one for Theodosia and one for the Real Name, which I can give out to possible employers, job search sites and whatnot. I get it all forwarded to Theodosia.
Gmail even lets you change the From in your replies so you don't have to change accounts.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
unfortunately, depending on the email client your recipient uses, the mail can look like:
"From Theo Real Name [on behalf of Theodosia]"...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sort of random conceptual tech-related question:
In a world of tabbed browsers, does the "length of visit" stat mean anything about a website anymore? I mean, I've had things open in tabs for hours without actually looking at them...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not really. You can measure stickiness much better by how much people did while there - lots of page views within the site from the same visitor, and/or lots of activity on a web app. But even in pre-tab days, simply not leaving the site was a pretty useless metric, since if they just stayed on the landing page it often meant that you were stuck in a background window.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking, when someone gave me that stat like it meant anything.

Why would gmail forget all the senders' addresses from whom I want images shown?
Ouch, that grammar hurt.
