I have been a turbo nerd since I was very young so I have had my own domain name as my email for a long time which makes it easy to change providers and addresses. I can change my email and if years down the road I want to access an old service and I find out that I was using a different name on the domain I have been using forever I can just setup a new forward to recover the account. I also setup forwards for basically every service I sign up for in case I they get hacked or I just want to shut off their stupid automated emails.

I am basically shocked when I get spam. I am very curious where it came from and I can pinpoint it's source.
