[Waverley ARS] Email address for Daniel VK2FDGW

[Simon Buxton]

Hi Adam

The club facility is a convenience for members to contact each other 
without going through this list, since all they need is your callsign. 
It can be used, but was not really intended, for general email.

My thought was that a one person domain is a bit limiting since most 
private domains are used by several people, such as family members (eg 
buxton.net.au or van-de-weyer.org). You can however have many user names 
which could be handy in tracing where people find your address.

Thanks for the backup offer, but Ben's private network has backup in the 
US and used to have it in Europe as well until he moved back here.
