    Truthfully, I kind of like my gmail account name, and I think their argument in favor of using lengthy names has some merit, particularly with the decreasing reason to be typing in someone’s email address by hand (actually, it wasn’t there in what you and I would consider the old days, either; I mean, personal mail aliases are a pretty weathered concept by now.) I admit it took some doing to get me to come around to it, but I’m considering ditching most if not all short “mailbox names” in the near future.
