This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Husband and wife use the same email for everything by Otter

I sort of understood this 15 years ago, but with filters, gmail, aliases...I don't get this in 2021.

I am dealing with a very nice couple who we know socially. They also coach a child of mine.

They use one email for everything social. The account uses the husband's name which consistently surprises me when I open the email and see the wife has signed it. I sometimes email one of them and the other one will answer.

What's the upside of this? It's just confusing. Even if they used "smithfamily@yahoo.com" that would be less confusing than "bob.w.smith@yahoo.com"
