Have you ever wondered where your e-mails are coming
from.
One thing I miss about e-mails compared to traditional letter-writing
is
the absence of an address. Whenever I can, I try to remember to sign
off
as "Robert Murray, Edinburgh" (or Robert Murray, Goldenacre", or
"Robert
Murray, Edinburgh, Scotland", depending how far away the message is
going.
However, when an e-mail comes in, and you have no idea
where the writer is, look at the last two letters of their e-mail
address
- very often it will give you the answer, and make everything so much
more
interesting !
A thought - has anybody yet started trying to collect a complete set of all the different countries ? What would such a collector be called ? An "Ecodologist", a "Cyber Suffix Collector", a "clickelist", a "Supernerd" ?
