It's a common security practice, to prevent scammers from using official-looking usernames, or even tricking services that verify domain ownership by sending email to postmaster@ or admin@. Such lists are usually kept secret, but there

So, your complaint is "I predict that YouTube will remove upload dates from videos"?
