I don't think this really makes sense. For instance, in the poll, 76%
of the people opposed use as a general purpose address, but 92%
supported putting it on one's personal homepage. I'm really curious
what those people were thinking, since that seems an outright
contradiction.
I'd interpret it as "I don't think it's a good idea to use it for
everything, but I don't see a real problem with doing it sometimes",
because that way it makes sense.
That is, it's discouraged, but nobody really cares.
I interpret differently: General advertising (like posting on personal
webpage - together with other email addresses, phone numbers and
physical addresses) is fine, but general *usage* is not ok.
I understood the poll as a tool to figure out what would be relevant for
a General Resolution - or a help for our Project Leader to make a
judgement (if it is in his power to judge in this matter).
It seems for a possible GR it should be made clear what is meant by
"putting on one's personal homepage".
