I have been following this thread, and I would like to comment that in 2005 I don't think that it's feasible to have an email address like 'John.Doe@yahoo.com'. Capitalization etc is not accepted by many (most) hosts that offer email service, besides most names being taken already. *But* the real name can appear properly before it, e.g. "John Doe" is about the best one can expect to achieve under normal conditions.
