When did you make the switch from middle school/high school email addresses like boysmakegoodpets@hotmail.com (yes, i had that one for a while) into a more adult email such as your firstname.surname@gmail.com?

And yeah, I do see gmail as the most grown-up email service. Second only to work email addresses.

I tend to look down on people (a SMIDGE) if their email isn't grown up and they're much older than me. But I don't know. I've been internetting for years. God knows my real life friends (who are really awesome) are kind of clueless about internet etiquette.

random thought random thread

i've got one of each, my grown up email address i use for business type things, ordering tickets, applying for jobs and so on. ive had it for about 3 years- soo 16?
my other i just use for msn.
i think the less grown up ones are more anonymous- so i use it for stuff like joining forums etc.

oh and my student email address.

At work? I still use my silly email addresses but I put them in Finnish so at least most people I email won't know what it means. I have work email though which is name.name@blah.gov.au

mine's still silly, but i love it. it's not that bad, if you can't take a joke, then..
