e-dress (was Lenape ...)

[Marsha Alley]

I picked "addy" up back in '95 when I first got on the internet - I was on AOL at the time, and it seemed that was what most people called an email address.  I hadn't really thought about it again until I say Beverly's e-dress.  I must admit, e-dress is much more specific; a better word.

  I would never assume that <addy> refers to an edress. Do you use it
  that way?
