It's helpful, though. Also, and I hope I'm getting it straight, '+stuff' doesn't count either. So ita+amazon@gmail.com can be my Amazon email address (if Amazon accepts email addresses of that format, and if I shopped at Amazon...) but all the mail goes to ita@gmail.com, and I can tell where it's from (and who shared it to whom) by virtue of what it is. So if you give out am.y personally and a.my professionally, you can tell when someone's blurring the lines. Or, more complex, any facebook password resets that don't come to amy+facebook@gmail.com? Automatically spam attempts, plz ignore.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
I'm suddenly nostalgic for my AOL address.

Or the days in which you could give those out to adults without people looking at you funny.

Oh, hush.

You don't even have one anymore and I'm still looking at you funny. So much for that!

Back when it was the main affordable internet provider across the US.

Punishingly Intricate
I get email in my gmail account all the time that are real messages clearly meant for other people, not spam. That never happens with my yahoo account.

When did I have one, or when could you give one out without being looked at funny?
I think I last had one in ... 1999? Wow.
I don't miss that little "You've got mail" guy, I'll say that.

I should log out of work. I'm listening to Nine Inch Nails and drinking pale ale, and maybe that's not the winning combination to finish writing my self-assessment.
