+Huh? What has the email address got to do with the alias or real name?
+
+I don't identify people by email addresses (I doubt anyone does), but by
+the name that's in front of the email address and/or in the signature.
+
+to make it clear:   john doe <jd56 at dfgfgf.cg>
+or with an alias:   johnny99 <jd56 at dfgfgf.cg>
+
+It's the name that counts not the email address, I thought that's fairly
+obvious and it would be nice if people would always use either the nick
+name or the real name consistently everywhere (ML, IRC, bugtrack, forum,
+etc.)
+
+Email addresses are a commodity with little meaning.
+
+Anyway this is completely off-topic in this thread.
