sorry if this applies to you, but...

I get so annoyed when people have numbers in their email address. For example, caitlin4670. How is anyone supposed to remember that!? It's just an arbitrary number. And if you write it down sloppily, and the 4 looks like a 9, how am I supposed to logically decipher what it could be? However, if you just use letters, and write sloppily, and the "a" looks like an "o", then I could say to myself, "hmm is that coitlin, or caitlin? Logical tells me caitlin."

In your defense, I understand why you use numbers, the email address you wanted was taken. But please put in some effort and come up with one that isn't so popular, and if you must use numbers limit it to one. Thank you.
