Perhaps this explains the sudden rush of p-mail I'm getting to the
address in my whois record.  I modified that address subtly so that,
while it was still deliverable, I'd know if mail coming to me was
addressed from the whois file or not, and this past month I've gotten
more than in the 3 years before that.
