<snort> A field applications engineer from Future Electronics in St. Louis told me that exact same thing in about 1995. “Blow over just like CB radio” he said. I think his name was Doug Sams. Like to look him up and tease him about that. The guy was brilliant in the use of the Motorola microcontrollers though.

The others are definitely annoying. I've even had people say things to me like 'simon@blahblah' and I've said 'ok, [email protected]?' and they reply 'no, [email protected]'. I guess some people just think their domains are more well known than they are. Or the ones where they have an email like '[email protected]' and they say it super fast like I'm going to be able to remember that. Mostly my response right now if someone tries to give me an email address verbally is just 'email me at [email protected] and I'll reply!', which is a lazy response, but saves going through the above scenario. Maybe I should just get a domain like b.xyz and have my email be [email protected] to help solve this for others.

Then I have to ask whether they really are leaving out the dot, or just not saying it, that ends up being up about 50/50. Then there are the people who leave out the tld entirely, like mailto:%E2%80%9Csimon@sonar%E2%80%9Dor mailto:%E2%80%9Csimon@gmail”, and you have to ask them if they are really leaving out the “.com”, or assuming the other person knows what they mean.
