What is a reasonable policy to set for this?  Either we have to require that
people never 'lugnet' in their e-mail address as Mike has inadvertently done
(I'm sure he meant no harm), or we could allow it but require a "not
affiliated with in any way" disclaimer attached to each posting.  The danger
of the latter is that someone might when composing a follow-up article snip
the disclaimer and keep the e-mail address at the top.
