[SJH] No, the 'real issue' is that I simply suggested leaving numbers out of
your email addy if you don't want that to be fodder for age-speculation. We
had discussed last week (?) ways of suppressing information/speculation
about one's age, and here is another one of them. I'm suggesting this in a
totally value-free sense, and I honestly don't understand why it's gotten so
many people so defensive.
