I don't know much about this, but you might not want to have your e-mail address so easily formatted for a bot, right? You might get a lot of spam soon?
1) gmail (and most other email providers) is really good at filtering spam out
2) spammers are much more likely to just buy email address databases in bulk than scrape the web for them these days and if you have an email address you use with any websites your email is probably already present in these databases.
