    I still have my old web.de address but I only use it for spammy stuff and recently web.de keeps nagging me because I never log into the web view so they can’t make money off of me.

    I guess I could give it up, since right now my old Gmail address (one of the first ones) has morphed to serve this purpose and my “good” address is ponting directly at my own domain and server.

      Literally me.

      My absolute favorite use of the web.de address 12 year old me created was when my sister dragged me to a bank to make an account. She’d get a bonus for bringing a new customer and I’d get my first own account.

      The bank employee didn’t expect to meet the Klitcommander that day and when she realized it she had a hard time containing her happiness. You better believe I spelled it out letter by letter.
