   I like:

	   Mark-Ludwig@Universal-Analytics.3625.Del-Amo.Boulevard.Torrance.CA.US

   because as much as I like to think

	   Mark-Ludwig@UAI.COM

   is easier to remember, etc.

It fails the "read it to someone" test.  Listen to the addresses on
NPR programs.  They've gotten consistently shorter.  Weekend
Edition/Sunday used to be wesun@cap.gwu.edu.  Now they're
wesun@clark.net.  Soundprint used to be soundprt@jhuvms.hcf.jhu.edu.
Now they're soundprint@jhu.edu.
