It is basically the status of being given a direct personal phone line in the old days, and those e-mails get my quick personal attention.Having a commonly used website e-mail address given to everyone, for use by everyone does not meet my criteria for status greater then hot-mail, or GMail and deserving of instant' or greater respect.The thing that counts are the people behind the address, and you get good and bad with both types of e-mail addresses.
