Looking for Porn in All the Wrong Places

Please, people, when choosing a name for your site or even just a good e-mail address, be careful with letters and words you smush together, would you?

I mean, when 'Who represents,' a service that tells you which agents represent which actors, became a web venture, they set up shop at whorepresents.com. A little ambiguous, perhaps?

And when Experts Exchange, a career site for IT professionals, went online, they did so at expertsexchange.com. Later, the founders inserted a hyphen between the 's' and the 'e' for some reason.

And of course, there's the infamous purveyor of writing implements, Pen Island, which...well, you get the picture.

Admittedly, the last one is a hoax. The other two are genuine.

I thought about all this because I learned today that Blanche Love, a nice woman in her late fifties or early sixties whom I vaguely know, has a memorable e-mail address: bjlove@somedomain.com. Yes: bjlove. For real. I wonder who'll have the heart to tell her.
