The problem with tis is that some email readers use what's known as
friendly addresses. Therefore, to you I may show up as john -at- tdandw -dot- com
, to others I may show up as John Posada without the email address. it
make it more difficult to respond.

Thats like asking people to do the following:

Change foomaster -at- foobar -dot- com to john -at- tdandw -dot- com
