Email address evolutionary scale

This is an awful mess. Unprofessional.

• jogn765@hotmail.com
• petervaughan@royalbank.com
• flyingfox@pixe.com
• silly77@yahoo.com
• holymoly@gmail.com

This is much better:

• john.cox@website.com
• peter.vaughan@website.com
• l@website.com
• marketing@website.com
• sales@website.com

This might be best of all:

• chair@website.com
• treasurer@website.com
• secretary@website.com
• marketing@website.com
• sales@website.com

For the user's point of view (i.e., the people sending emails to the above list) this may be far and away the best: chairs may come and go, but the email address remains the same.

(From a spam point of view, it may be worst. At least if peter.smith@website.com gets buried in spam email, you can sack him and start again!)
