Well, there are only a half-dozen or so legitmate id's in that domain; it's
a family/business environment, and quite small.  These guys were inventing
names and throwing them at the domain to see what stuck.

I wasn't thrilled.  But that's still only a fraction of what Keith seems to
be dealing with.  I was seriously considering abandoning my email address
of some 10 years.  Mr. Lynch must have some masochistic tendencies.
