[e-mail](x's in place of some other letters to protect myself)

Anyways, that hostname is the one provided to me by AT&T. Any ideas? Kinda strange..

I posted the same thing awhile ago and Brett explained that it was used to stop email harvesters. They fluctuate there are all kinds of variations to them.
