Back in the early nineties, I had a book called something like The Internet White Pages (I forget). It contained 100k email addresses. My friend had his email listed in it, and he'd use it as a flex. Then, Spam was invented.

    Did it actually contain identifying info, or just the addresses?

    IIRC, it contained whatever finger returned. So, in my friend's case his full name and email address.
