I love my alias

So we're changing ISPs here in the Crawford household. So I had to notify everyone in my address book of my new all-purpose email address. Quite a pain in the neck, despite the  fact that I'm looking forward to cutting down on my spam.

One fun thing that results is all the bounce messages I'm getting back, particularly from friends with AOL service. I'm trying to look at this as an opportunity to cull my address files.

What I am really appreciating is how easy it is to do an address change seamlessly with all my Mensa connections. One call to Howard asking him to point my Communications@ alias to my new address and voila-- every elist, every publication, every committee.... is instantly updated.
