Jorge Cham, of Phd comics (my favorite), has drawn an excellent strip hinting at the complexity of modern communication. Recently a colleague sent me an email (and cc it to three other of my addresses) asking me which was my “real” address. It got me thinking of how many aliases I have and how many mail accounts I run – most appear in the same inbox but not all.
All the accounts are there for a reason (or several reasons) but it does sometimes feel a bit like a case of multiple personality…
