I think he was talking about the text that accompanies your e-mail address.
E.g. Bill Gates <billy@micro$.com> and Bill Gates <william@micro$.com>
is the same user for human processing, but 2 completely different people
when it comes to spam.

Sometimes I long for the days when people on The Internet were just a few and
netiquette ruled the day.
