Thank you. Good points. I didn't really like fandango anyway*, and threw it
out as a more or less a strawman. See change. I'll go with inv until I
understand what the RFC and TLD references are about. Where do I find out
more? My intent with this particular address is to respond to certain
spam[m?]ers. Here it's purpose is to discover how well it disguises the
originator.

mentioned it. I see it is used for some movie outfit.
