C'mon ... my example contractor has printed collateral, web pages, etc.
all with his email address. Changing an email address is non-trivial for
folks who don't have any need to register their own domain name. Even
those who have a web serving domain often have no business need for
email.

I could use my yahoo or gmail account to send him email, but then I have
to deal with watching said account for responses. At best a frustrating
waste of time.
