That's a surprisingly deep question, that I'm not 100% sure of.  Yes, 
it is
certainly the address I would give out first, but that's mainly to do 
with
the fact that my contract says Tadpole Computer at the top of it, so it
makes sense to me.  When we split, the domain "tadpole.com" was 
considered
to be a well known and therefore valuable asset for both parties, hence
my email address and the fact that 'both' Tadpole's share the namespace.
What the future holds, and what the details of the name sharing are, I 
have
no idea.
