I don't use mine as a _public_ address, though. Rather, I give it out to my
friends & family, tell them, "That'll work, as long as I keep paying rent on my
own doggone name."

&gt; Alternatively, if you don't want your own domain, you could use
&gt; one of the many large well-supported e-mail service providers
&gt; (i.e. Yahoo, POBox, etc.), but keep in mind that you will always
&gt; be subject to their fees and policy changes, storage limits, etc.
&gt; With your own domain (or a domain that you share with others like
&gt; your family), you have total control of where you direct your e-mail.
