    Not sure if this is the right section but

    why can't I use a hyphen in my username for gmail - is there any reason for it or is there going to be any change in the future that may allow users to use hyphens - it's the main reason why I don't use gmail - I know it might sound like a silly thing not to use gmail over but I just keep forgetting my username because I've always used the same username for my email address but using numbers just seems I dunno, childish kinda...

    Not the biggest fan of full stops but still - why can't they just let us use hyphens...

    is it a technical reason or just because they don't want us to have them???

    It just seems that Google don't want people to use them and it varies from provider.
