They did not advise others to do the same and, anyway, they did not
emphasise their address in the body of the post so I am unlikely to
notice it. You have provided extensive, authoritative advice to many
people including me and I am grateful. I apologise if this trivial
correction made you feel "picked on".

Given my knowledge of VB that is probably a good thing although I have
provided some advice under a previous name.

I was trying to _save_ a little bandwidth by avoiding the domain name
lookups that failing to deliver mail addressed to you requires. The
TLD .invalid allows a spammer or his mail server to drop the spam
immediately.
