    If you're worried about this kind of stuff happening, don't use
    transient addresses like the ones from your ISP. Get a more permanent
    address, like registering your own domain. If you went to a decent
    college, their alumni association may offer a permanent forwarding
    address (see my address).

    This way you can change ISPs without having to change your address, and
    you don't have to send updates to everyone in your address book or
    update any web sites.
