The enigma which is Alan
Yahoo
Even people I knew for years didn't know I have a Yahoo email address, the reason is i rarely use it. This information is known to less than a dozen people, most of who I have not been in touch with for 13 years.
The Yahoo address did cause a laugh, many years ago, a writer I used to chat to, I wouldn't say we were friends, we shared a dislike for certain writers in a group on the Bookrix site, this site was baded in Munich, Germany.
What made the incodent funny was my colleague, Rick Carufel, got an email "supposedly" from my Yahoo address. The first thing Rick did was email me saying "Al, do you have an email in Spain?"
To which I replied, "I have a Yahoo email address, but as I have not been to Spain, nor know anyone there, it is obviously not from me," we didn't need to do any research to know who sent the false email, there was one writer on the site who had targetted us with hate mail for months, mainly because most people on the site, including upcoming writer, turned to us for honest advice
