I'm curious as to why you believe that "tilde" addresses are any less likely
to be maintained by an individual than "non-tilde" addresses.

*MOST* web sites are authored by individuals, not companies. Almost all
University accounts have ~ in their address, even for professors!

personally, I would be more likely to discriminate against 'free sites" like
GeoCities than ~ sites from Universities.
