Gmail mail id can be disected with a dot(.)!!

I recently came across very unusual/funny behaviour about the gmail email id.

Suppose that if you have a gmail id by the name of anonymousguy@gmail.com,then it is same as anonymous.guy@gmail.com and even same as anony.mous.g.u.y@gmail.com etc etc
This works because there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE between these differently spelt/dot separated mail ids.
Check yourself by sending mails to your id with "." at any place in ur name if u like!!

The reason for this is that the gmail server does not recognise the dot(.) character and so this thing works.

Also one more name for your e-mail id would be anonymous.guy@googlemail.com
