Anthony's point is that if you get your own domain, and then have that point to something like optonline, you'll have your own email address, and if/when you decide to move off optonline, you change the pointer to a new address, and poof, you've changed the low- level email system but the world still sees the same address, making for a truly unchanging email system 'till you die, or email changes.
