Despite being the first person to draw attention to this, I really do
think we're going over the top. Yes, it's sort of loony, but it's easy
to search-and-replace things back again. (I'd like to say I don't have
equally visible looninesses but I can't lie that well.)

I mean, who on earth runs spell-checkers over someone else's *email*?
Nobody, that's who. Because the idea is every bit as loony as eschewing
common letters for religious reasons.

R3a11y? Y n0t? It is l33t (or perhaps that should be '00l1t3' these days,
since Elite has been surpassed in my affections). It is also much more
unreadable than anything which 'Krishna Birth' did. :)
