I wasn't complaining that it wasn't your real address.  I was
complaining that it didn't look like *any* address.  The djgpp
newsgroup is gatewayed to a mailing list, and if the address doesn't
look like an address, I have to make one up, and it usually ends up
having @delorie.com in it somewhere, which is bad for me.

So if you're going to use a fake email address, at least choose one
that *looks* like an email address.
