Several of those addresses are different only because they changed
at some point. Aggregating the well-known ones that are obviously
the same person, one gets this list instead:
6384 ktil...@nyc.rr.com / kentil...@gmail.com
5191 costa...@web.de / p...@p-cos.net
4877 e...@naggum.net / e...@naggum.no
4127 pit...@world.std.com
3692 p...@informatimago.com
2332 t...@cley.com
2277 r...@rpw3.org
But to do this "properly" would require starting with a *very* much
longer list, and then aggregating all of the obviously-identical people.
