Well, DID you read/try any of those links and the suggestons? What were
the results? You've completely ignored several good suggestions and
links by not mentioning them at all. If you aren't trolling, you are
your own worst enemy then in trying to help yourself.

As for the address you use, that could belong to anyone or be made up.
It's not relevant in today's spam infested world or this topic.
