While technically accurate, this is non-standard to such a degree, and represents such a minority percentage of the population, that "don't do this" really is an appropriate response to the user.

I'm curious how often people share e-mail addresses. I used to see it a lot for people who used their ISP's mail system. Most people who are even slightly tech oriented have gmail, hotmail, etc these days, but now I can't help but wonder how many people just stick with the default ISP e-mail.

Mailing lists and shared mailboxes might be used by several people ([email protected]). Noone uses them to sign up to online services I guess, but the address might be stored in a database and be assocoated with several people somehow.
