email != domain name and other gaffes (contd.)

Jessamyn points out one problem in this press release from ALA in which they confuse the concepts of domain name and e-mail addresses.

ALA also has a new election domain name. It is now 2006election@alavote.org.

Yes, Jessamyn's points are all completely valid to which I point out another problem with the only other sentence in that paragraph:

This change to a dot.org from a dot.net will make it less likely that any ballots will be incorrectly identified as spam.

Huh?! Sorry folks, but spam filters today are hardly considering top level domains (TLDs) as the sole arbiter of whether or not an e-mail is spam. Saying that a .net address is more likely to be spam over a .org is like saying that just because there's a ~ in the URL, it must be a personal site.

First ALA fails on a technical issue, then they fail on a logic issue. Is anyone proofreading these press releases?
