Similar erroneous assumptions strip the dot from my gmail address in a mistaken belief that I will get it. All my non-dotted email goes direct to spam via a filter I wrote, because multiple-nines of spam strip the dot. I've only had a single (government) organization refuse to leave the dot in my address, so I had to special case them.
