funny, that's exactly how I use Yahoo -- the likelier the correspondent is to send
me garbage, the more apt I am to give them the Yahoo! address: UPS tracking
number notifications, Facebook status updates, Netflix e-mails asking what day I
mailed "The Milky Way" all go there.

I have one domain e-mail for one type of work, another for the the other -- both
get automatically forwarded to separate Gmail addresses 1) for archiving purposes,
and 2) because it's easier to check my mail with my smartphone or a browser.
