Think about it for a minute.
Do you think that john.smith is only available in one
country, and can only use one ISP ?
I bet that virtually every ISP has a john.smith :
@aol.com, @attbi.com etc. etc.
So, why is "your" name so different ?
Also - spammers use this as well. They may take one name -
like john.smith, and attach ALL @ispname.isp to it - and
immediately produce umpteen thousand new email addresses.
Do you see where I'm going with this ?
