No so with me. My e-mail address here is munged, but in a

This discussion has wandered far from my original mention that I found it

Mostly the same, although in my case, I've had multiple email
addresses for different purposes (and still kept all of them for
decades).

I have never had a need to check email but in my reading over the years, I am
aware of modules of multiple kinds you can use to do things like parsing dates,
URL and email addresses and probably many other such things into some kind of
object and then you can use aspects of the object to do
