+Multiple email addresses is common practice and doesn't cause confusion at

+Spam filters (especially base on content) are not foolproof. There is
+areason why even yahoo and gmail allow you to linke multiple email
+addresses to your yahoo/gmail account. It is the most hassle free way to
+avoid spam and to know where the spam is coming from (i.e. which company
+you gave your email address to leaked it to spammers).
+
+If you are happy with one address then good for you, I'm not forcing you to
+change, but you shouldn't pretend like your way is the best way.
