Yes, email adresses are the internet's unique ID, but, the > name is still unique enough for most things.. The name "David Taylor" is unique enough for nothing. Even the other day I phoned up to get an appointment at the optician and after asking my name they said, "OK, there's a lot of David Taylor's here, whats your DOB?" (as it turned out they had my DOB down as 31/12/1899, which didn't help, but the point is my name is not unique even in my local area, never mind the Internet). Given that I am already filtering 150+ spams a day, I'd rather have my e-mail address listed (if I'm given credit at all) than "save" myself from spam I wouldn't notice. --=20 David Taylor
