Until Mindspring tells you that >they are changing the doamin name for your e-mail to earthlink.net >(NOTE: This is fairly unlikely to actually happen in this case). Considering you can go to the Earthlink site and choose e-mail addresses in *any* of the domains they've acquired over the years, you're right, it's fairly unlikely. I can't get [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for now), but I did get pll at lanmind dot com, which is just one of the 38 billion domains they now own :) (I haven't actually *used* that e-mail address for anything, but I do have it :) >> Running my own domain, as I'm sure is true for most internet users, >> is actually *more* trouble than it's worth, especially considering >> I'm restricted to dial-up access, as is the majority of the U.S.! > >For most internet users, yes.

Occasionally I run into the sales address being previously registered, so I'll enter [EMAIL PROTECTED], or use marketing@, etc. :) I figure if they're going to send spam, they may as well get their own. Although, you know. Maybe I'll start cross-subscribing e-mail addresses of companies I hate. Like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] :) -- Seeya, Paul ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
