Every American—indeed, every human being, regardless of nationality deserves to be rightfully and accurately represented on the World Wide Web—the communication gateway into the next century and beyond—without having to resort to nonsensical aliases with random strings of numbers tacked onto the end. In an era of global wireless technology, our very identities are at stake. It's highly unethical at best, criminal at worst, for others to wantonly abscond with them.
If only, asshole, you could have seen the anger and revulsion that washed over my face as I found that
MarkIbold@gmail.com,
Ibold@gmail.com,
Ibold.Mark@gmail.com, and
MarkIboldRules@gmail.com had all been taken. If only you could have felt my heart leap to my throat upon realizing that
Markibold@gmail.com would not work either, as Gmail addresses are not case-senstitive. If only you could have heard my cry of anguish when, in a last, desperate move, I typed in
crookedrain@gmail.com, only to be rejected once more and finally forced to accept the abomination that is
Mark.Ibold20061@gmail.com.
Please, whoever you are, come forward. I will not ask you to relinquish the email adress, or even hand it over. I just need peace of mind.
