As long as we're off-topic on this topic--
Part of how I became "strata" for email was that my first email/login
ids were "mrose" at XX, AI, MC, CCC, and the EECS machines DEEP-THOUGHT
and eddie. Unfortunately, "mrose@eddie" (or worse, eddie!mrose) had
a non-deterministic resolution depending on your linkage to East Coast
(BBN, MIT, Rutgers, etc) vs West Coast (SAIL, UCB, etc). Properly we
were "mit-eddie" and not "uw-eddie". The infinitely more studly
Marshall Rose was uw-eddie!mrose, and many was the time I got mail
for him and forwarded it on, until I bowed to the inevitable and
started updating my addrs.
Eirikur-- remember when Marty logging in turned off RMS' wheel bits
and CStacy reading his mail turned them back on? Ah, those were
the days... :-)
