ah yes, i didn't mean to imply an email address specifically, just that the other username would be mostly equivalent, if slightly inferior, to the phone number. i'm really glad that they're moving away from phone number as identity, and hopefully to fully anonymous, which they've rightly been criticized about up until this announcement.
