Ah CompuserveYou used to have to login with a number (eg [email protected]) and that was also you your email. Their reasoning was that everyone would have a Compuserve number just like a telephone number. Of Course, when ISPs started doing [email protected] then that blew that idea right out of the water.

I seem to rememberit took Compuserve an awful lot longer to accept that than it really should have.
"Why can't we have our name @ compuserve.com? Everyone else does it like that"
"It's just better, OK."
