Writing down passwords isn't necessarily a bad idea (although I'd agree not to do it on post-its stuck to your monitor;-)
I have a nice collection of them, changing them about every month or two and feel strongly that if any of my friends or co-workers start reading my agenda (where I keep them and which has much more private information than my mailbox), I have a totally different problem than just the security of my accounts.
