That's the plan. And I'm trying to get as many as possible of my friends and neighbors to change TO Sonic.net.
However, some of my friends and family live outside of areas serviced by Sonic.net, and moving isn't an option for them.
I first got my own domain ~15 years ago, so that I would never be dependent upon an ISP or specific mail service. When I ran into problems with a hosting company, I could move easily (and did more than once).
I only wish I'd been able to get service from Sonic.net earlier... it would have saved a bunch of stress!

Agreed, although my spouse and I will BCC each other for a heads-up when we don't want to expose the other's address to a correspondent.
I used to use BCC a lot more at work, typically so my boss, legal, HR, etc. can be aware of correspondence. Until one day, when one of those parties "replied all" to such a message and blew the cover. Now, I just forward the message from my "Sent" folder.
