User:Cm9vdEBkeW5hbWl0ZS5uYXJwZXMuY29t

If you think my username looks a bit nonsensical, that's because it was necessary to base64-encode it in order to get the system to accept it. Changing the first letter to lower case and feeding it to a decoding function, e.g.:

(echo cm9vdEBkeW5hbWl0ZS5uYXJwZXMuY29t | mimencode -u ; echo)

(the above command works on a Slackware Linux system) would yield a string far too controversial and disruptive for Wikipedia to accept in plain text - my e-mail address. While the username itself is not easy to memorise, it does have the virtue of being easy to re-generate through the application of a commonplace algorithm to a string I *can* remember. Furthermore, it gives others a way to contact me, yet (probably) evades harvest by spambots.
