I think that there are a lot fewer people using that feature than you'd assume. Even lots of developer coworkers don't know about that ability, even fewer use it. So I can't imagine there are a lot of non-techie people out there doing [email protected].

Not many, but in 360,000,000 there are probably a few.

I thought that too, but did you take a look at the last big dump that went public? I think it was the Target one. There were tons of that type of email used. I'm not sure about the percentage, certainly less than ten percent, but when you're talking such sheer volume that does not really matter very much.
