I do it too. I've found some vendors that will not allow their company name in the email address. For example, [e-mail] cannot be used to register with any Samsung-operated service.

I do it too. I had one phone me, deeply suspicious, and demanding to know how their 'domain' came to be in my email address!

I thought it was an interesting blend of technical literacy both to notice and be bothered by that!

My fav bypass was using a string reversal on the company name.
