While I did (eventually) realize that Michael Butler was in fact joking (it
was a joke in response to a joke --acrostic, at least), I can certainly see
how some on this list could have construed it otherwise. My
e_shaun@extropy.org address is somewhat related to my e_shaun@uniserve.com
address, in that all mail to either address comes to me directly. However,
if the Extropy server goes down, as it is occasionally wont to do, my
uniserve address is unaffected. Also, I use my uniserve address for most
things unrelated to my Extropy position (for example, my business cards use
the uniserve address). I've had that address for six years, and it has
been *completely* stable in that time.

Basically, the long and the short of it is that despite your best
intentions (and I do know that it was just in jest), these claims do have a
way of finding some people who don't see them as jokes, and could have
already set filters against my uniserve address. Or perhaps I'm flattering
myself. :-)

                                                 Sincerely,

                                                         The *real* E.
Shaun Russell (of course, they *all* say that...)
