John,

When posting to the list please be aware that there are many different
age groups who may be reading be be aware of the language you are using.
Some may find your use of the word "yahoo" offensive.

Seriously though, I can only think that some trap is thinking that mail@
is a bogus email address which is more than a little braindead.

Personally I still assign different local-part's (blah@) to  different
services which in the case of facebook does make it a bit harder for
people to find me. But does at least mean that when someone sells my
soul to spammer scum I can start to work out who it was.
