I appreciate the reply, but I was rather interested in estonian's thoughts on the matter. But, while we're here: > Facebook is just a question of typing their name... Many folks in my peer group used an (often oddly-spelled) nym when they created their Facebook account long, long ago. (Also, many folks in my peer group abandoned their FB account long ago, but that's another matter entirely. ;) ) > ...and another thirty [seconds] waiting for you to send them an email to confirm. They way I've seen this handled is to either show the person how you spelt the email address, or have them wait for the "new email" notification to confirm that you did, indeed spell the address correctly. Yet another way is to hand your conversation partner a business card.
