I am against hard limits on username lengths, but I think that
uuencoding the result of gzipping that address yelds a more readable
address.

I think the expression you're looking for is "non sequitur".

Fun fact (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.5.3.1.1):

  4.5.3.1.1.  Local-part

     The maximum total length of a user name or other local-part is 64
     octets.

I think the OP should keep the username.  In addition, he/she should 
switch to this email service:

http://www.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com

I'm planning on getting one. Lots of fun :-P

If you want a really long one, add his user name to this url.

http://llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk/

There are other long ones of course.  ;-)

Not that the OP isn't already having this problem, but I wonder how
would I give other people my address "Oh see, njsg at
two-and-a-half-alphabets dot com!"

But now that DNS allows non-ascii, there is a whole new realm
of... clever domain parts.

He's being witty.

Take 
hare_krsna_hare_krsna_krsna_krsna_hare_hare_hare_rama_hare_rama_rama_rama_hare_hare@lavabit.com, 
hard to read and type right?

Now zip it. Try read the zipped version.
Now uuencode the zipped version and try read that.

The joke is that the uuencoded zipped version is still easier to read than the 
original. Which is true enough, as the original address is just bat shit 
insane crazy long.

Meeku:  It follows neatly and just because it is out-of-the-box spiritual
philosophy does not mean it's "non sequitur".

I just think it goes too far for a description about the font, nothing
specific against philosophy.

Meeku:  What tends to happen in font design that certain issues tend to be
closed/buried or muted and thus I wanted to be open about it.
