It's also perhaps worth noting that what Jeri has cited simply as "(ISP)" is "gmail.com" in the case of the NELG addresses. Are the 'free' (i.e., ad-supported) email services US-only or would they be available in the UK? Because not only are the addresses "anonymous" in the sense that they don't change even as the people behind them do, NELG doesn't pay anything for those addresses or for the email service.

Eight official officers of the New England Lace Group (approximately 100 members) all have addresses formatted like the 2 that follow: _NELGPresident@(ISP_ (mailto:NELGPresident@(ISP) ) _NELGLibrarian@(ISP_ (mailto:NELGLibrarian@(ISP) ) These e-mail addresses never change. They are reassigned after elections or upon being appointed to a position. Any of 8 officers may write to one (or all) members, and we know precisely in what capacity they are communicating. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachne.modera...@gmail.com. Photo site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lacemaker/sets/
