My friend Ward was doing sub-addressing back in the 1970s, with made up apartment/box numbers, and eventually the xmodem.com domain. He learned quite a few things about it.

For instance, if you look at the article he wrote about CBBS[1], you'll see he's listed at apartment #3D.

I never took up the practice, though I suppose I could having the warot.com domain to play with, and a single family residence to make up PO boxes, apartments, etc.
