Joe, you should ignore the slug in that link/link title, though :-) One thing more – an introductory article on why I use “email” rather than “E-mail.”

I would imagine they'd use it in any number of ways??? Not really sure what you mean there. And that wasn't really "the intended audience" either - one of them, yes - but certainly not limited to that. "you don’t have a case for collapsing E- to e in every case, because the resulting compounds become incomprehensible" - To you, maybe so. A 2-minute cursory search in a modern dictionary shows that "email" is, in fact, an alternative use for E-mail. Your argument isn't with me - it's with the dictionary writers. Have fun with that. But more to the point - removing those hyphens is an emerging use of the term, whether or not you like it. And I prefer the new way. "I see you have learned exactly nothing about slugs" - I could care less about slugs. I realize I DO have that option, but I choose to not do it. If you have a problem with my non-use of slugs, I suggest you get over it or move on, because I'm not changing it any time soon. "Tell me: How is that actually better, in any respect, than the following? http://www.davidleeking.com/2009/02/18/itinerary09/" Well - I would never use the word "itinerary," for starters, so in my book what I did on my personal website is in every respect better than your suggestion. My blog, my way. "Some of us have been around longer and know more" Um... I've been successfully making and managing websites since 1995, and messing around with gopher before that. How long have you been doing it? Or did you mean your general age?
