[asterisk-biz] New Wholesale Company

[Bill Michaelson]

Having used the same email address for 16, 17, oh, I dunno how many 
years, it is totally trashed.  So you can't send email to me unless I 
know you.  If the signature is not right, it is silently discarded.  I 
use other means to establish initial contact.  Annoying, but I haven't 
found a better way, and I don't have the patience to wade through spam.

But I keep the email address, and I continue to use it.  It's me.  I use 
others for special purposes, but my primary identity in this realm 
doesn't change.

So I understand the motivation of others who do differently, and I try 
not to pass judgment quickly because it's really a superficial matter.  
My reflexive perception isn't necessarily accurate.
