With respect - there is a problem with this that any technophile (aka as anyone who uses email) would know. If your family and friends use your email id - you start getting a whole lot of emails meant for them. After 9 years I get invitations to thermodynamics conferences and associated spam because my brother used my email id to send one email 9 years ago. Therefore any technophile wanting to share an email id is likely to maintain a kind of trash free for all email id that is not personally important to him if he wanted everyone to share it, while reserving another email id for one's own private work. Could that possibly be the case? shiv
