Good for you - I didn't.
Therefore I worked it out and posted it for the benefit of any slow types like myself who are very interested and trying hard to follow the conversation. I find it easier to gain an emotional appreciation of the expanded form of the number than I do to gain any feel for the exponent form (or whatever that notation is called).
I'm with you in that I don't understand what's wrong with using an email address as the unique identifier, but I guess I'll just keep reading the arguments until the light dawns on me (possibly).
