You can use dictionary words, but *scrambling* their letters, as a way
to make things quite easily memorable.
e.g. Use the words "a", "good" & "friend" by interspersing the letters
f r i e n d
+ a
+ d o o g (reversed, "good", this time)
= fardioeongd
Just be sure to *really* scramble the letters.
There's all sorts of tricks for memorising passwords, that's just one of
them.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
