Neat solution.

I do worry about another thing though, other users of the repository would 
see two different e-mail addresses, that might worry or confuse them, 
especially if they want to write some recgonize script and don't realise 
there are two e-mail addresses.

They may also start wondering if one is real and the other one fake !

But besides from that neat solution ! Does require some extra setup from 
github... I wasn't sure if that was possible, so for now I believe you ! ;)

It does give some e-mail redundancy... however it might also be 
risky/annoying, what if some day github requires two real e-mail addresses 
and if it's not real it will decide that one was fake and starts deleting 
commits or locks you out or something...

E-mail is kinda special... also I see another problem with this solution, 
if the e-mail addresses are fake and somebody tries to reach you it won't 
work.

Also google groups prevents me from seeing your actual solution, I don't 
really see your solution.

I only see foo..

So I assume you encoded your machine somehow into the e-mail address.

Try and explain it one more time, but don't use the @ sign because that 
makes the google bot trip up and hide the information in some stupid link.

Bye for now,
  Skybuck.
