Amen! In addition to the reasons you list, people often have multiple
addresses at once -- I myself have several, not even including the
hundreds of special-purpose ones I make up on the fly at my domains.
Then, logging into a system you haven't been on in years, do they
really expect you to remember *which* address you used back then *for
that site*? Meanwhile, I use the same username almost everywhere;
just about the only exceptions are a few places where that's too long,
or it has to have both letters and digits. (Yes I mean the username,
not the password!)
