I am a newbie here, with only 44 years experience in IT, so pardon my ignorance.
Are these Forums, and the BTHSnews itself, intended for human beings (and perhaps other sentients who manage access), or just for computers and stereotypical geeks & nerds who do not mind being confused with electronic devices?
I ask because, for all of my 44 years in IT, as an operator, user, programmer, analyst, and teacher, I have been "Hesch" and my eMail (for the last 2+ decades) has been "HMRothman"; •NOT• "hmrothman" OR "hMRotHmAn".
It is very nice that the Web and the Internet accept any of those three variations, and others, but, as a human being, I believe I have the right to choose to specify and maintain my eMail @ - your system has altered it.
I have programmed in at least eight (8) computer languages, and the code to handle all those variations is quite simple and quite small in all of them, even if constructed as a subroutine or function.
I request that you consider implementing such code at your earliest convenience.
I thank you in advance.
Peace - Hesch
