Got new email at work and am starting with reputation 1 at SO. Can't comment anymore. This is hostile and I don't want to write answers any more. They have a lot other privileges which I never cared for. But commenting should not be a privilege.

Let's see what comes first: rep 50 or the next new email.

Always curious: why are you using a company email instead of a private email for SO? Using company email for something potentially interesting privately or just a potential long-time investment is something I still fail to understand.

I keep private and work stuff separated. I have a private SO account as well.

You can add new emails or change the email of your existing account.

You can link your SO account to more than one email.

When I explored this a year or two back, you couldn't remove an email.

Given demain transfers, this would be a straight-up security hole miles wide.

It is possible to remove an email address used for authentication now.
