@addison "cool old men..." so yeah, I've had my call for 31 years and it's really just an alternate name at this point for me! But I hear you with the considerations. I've got a Yahoo address that's 20 something and not professional, I've got a Gmail that's better, I've got an Outlook Mail and Proton Mail that are 100% business. Then the work addresses that are first Initial last name but they don't do anything after hours. Sort of reminds me of train names. On the fingerlakes trail and AT people go by trail names. I used to go by Black Rabbit, but that was a long time ago.
