[Fierce_DeityX1]

so, why do you think people still put the dots in, because the dots can organize it more, for example:

[email protected] seems cleaner than [email protected]

Yeah, actually dots are magical portals to another realm and that's why people us them.

This has been known for quite some time. If you want to blow your mind some more, if you have something like "[email protected]" then all the mail would go to "[email protected]" as everything after the + is ignored. It's handy if you sign up for a lot of sites and want to know which ones are sending you spam. If you got some spam mail addressed to "[email protected]" then you'd know that psnp is giving your details to spam sites and can remove yourself from their lists.

Also, this is a good way to stop accounts being stolen since some people may know your email, but not the stuff after the '+'.
