When you view my profile is shows my addy as "@gREMOVEmail.com" I didn't see gmail in the list of email providers in the FAQ. What gives?

From what I can tell, the list in the FAQ is for the domains that aren't allowed. Since gmail isn't listed, it's valid.

Or are you referring to the REMOVE part? If so, AT adds that automatically to throw off spambots.

It might have the first time someone implemented that somewhere, but trust me, it no longer slows down spambots one bit...
