If you'll notice, my address is at glentodd.net - a domain with my name on
it. It's a 'dummy' domain; there's no actual server for it, but with the
aid of some internet trickery that only another computer geek could follow,
it 'points' to the ISP that I'm using currently, so that I get mail
addressed to me at my domain. This means that my public email address
will always remain the same no matter what ISP I happen to be using.

> Now as to the Biggest Free site hummmmmmmmmmmmm rootsweb.com?

No. I have reasons for not wanting to name names, but it isn't Rootsweb.
