Offered with a wry smile, remembering the days on IRC where ops used to auto kick/ban people with @aol.com addresses, esp. the ops in Linux channels

@Pat_Walrond @th3j35t3r I use Gmail for regular use and formal use, Hotmail for anything "goofy" as it's the one I had as a teenager in the early 00's and yahoo for anything that I don't want traced back to me, like when I used to bait SO's online to show up to cop shops 😂
@lacuda @Pat_Walrond @th3j35t3r I use gmail for those things I don’t want my primary email account littered with. I have three email accounts, one for my former employer to keep up with any changes to my retirement benefits (mostly for insurance), the gmail account, and my primary account.
@lacuda One of the benefits of using a shell (I ran a help/computer guru channel on IRC, so shells were necessary when Efnet was at its most anarchic) and you could use it with an email address which was convenient for anonymity
