Speaking for myself, I'd like to be able to have my email address be
scottmc @t haiku-os.org rather than scott.mccreary @t haiku-os.org,
mostly because it's shorter. And what about those who have non ascii
chars in their names?
Thanks for the clarifications in your previous email, that cleared up
my other concerns.
