Please dont use LKML subscriptions as the authority of one's preferred
email address.

I, for instance, am *only* subscribed to LKML using my gmail account.
I prefer that nobody ever email my gmail account directly -- I use my
gmail account as a filter -- gmail filters my mails and fwd's specific
mails to my other specific email addresses -- I rarely read gmail
directly, and I am unlikely to ever read an email addressed to my
gmail box.

I favor my "at linuxtv dot org" account for my kernel work, and I hope
that is the email that shows up as primary for me (I would only guess
that I have one or two aliases in this .mailmap file.)

Regards,

Mike
