I should add that there's a variant here made with activated charcoal that is even more visually offputting.

I definitely prefer them darker than usual and will always request a well done one.

Good point. But I use plus addresses only to keep tabs on sites where I have to sign up for things where they ask for an email. Listservs I use one of my kosher addresses, as I figure I want to get that stuff. I've never thought about them selling my email, but I suppose they might.

There is no set up. Just give that as an email address if you are asked for one. I do not send any emails using plus addressing so if that is what you want to do I cannot help.

In Fastmail? [email protected] will do it. You can then either leave it in you main inbox or divert it to another folder. Easy.

One other thing I really like about Fastmail is that the + addressing just works, so I can keep a watch on signups that might be selling my email.

Great story!

Yeah, funny stuff happens even when weight is not changing. I wouldn't be surprised to see your weight even go up a bit as you swap fat for muscle.

You’re not kidding. That’s some major redefinition you’ve got going.

I guess you can have a pass then; extenuating circumstances.
