Hey! Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed your username is in the form of an e-mail address. For privacy and spam reasons, you might want to consider changing your username to a more generic handle or pseudonym. You can change you username by clicking here and adding a request to the list. deleted: see indented comment below

Also note that if you do want to allow others to contact you by email, you can enter your username in your preferences. This will enable Special:Emailuser/Goldsteinfamily@sbcglobal.net which is currently disabled. --L1AM (talk) 01:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, actually considering you have no edits (at this time), if you have privacy or spam concerns it would probably be easier if you just created a new account by re-registering. You don't have to but just a friendly bit of advice before you get started. --L1AM (talk) 02:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
