I had a friend who's email address was (let's call her Jane)
janedotcodotuk(a)aol.co.uk.
And in Nathan's case, Nathan and Nathanr was already taken.

That'd be a mouthful.
Anyways, I'm think and hoping that Alphax was kidding

I think such usernames should be blocked too.

I think *your* username is innappropriate since you're spamming
your URL
in it.
Yeesh. Give him a break.
It's unobtrusive. It's a username, so it never appears in the main
namespace. It's not a link, so it won't affect his site's pagerank.
And if you look at that site, _it's just a personal website,_ no
different in kind from a Wikipedia user page.
On the spectrum from where co-opting Wikipedia for commercial gain is
a ten and obnoxious self-promotion is a one, this is a zero. It's
about as objectionable as using a username that happens to resemble
one's email address.
