@mwichary In about November 1999, I was in the V&A looking at the cast of the inscription of Trajan’s Column when a lot of students appeared around me and started discussing it. I introduced myself, and it turned out It was a typography class from the University of Reading. One of the professors was very excited that they had just been assigned an e-mail address that they could give me. Then for five minutes everyone tried to remember how to write an @. I think of this every time I see a good @.
