Earlier quoted context omitted.

Neat! I always thought it was a reference to the `/.` you might type in Unix

You mean "./"

I really do mean the root directory! As in, a kinda joke that meant the site was a central place for news, so it would act as a root directory for that

I‘m using notmyhostna.me as my email address and every time I have to provide it in person or on the phone I kinda regret it because people seem to not know much about TLDs.

I've been waiting forever and Google still hasn't launched the TLD, but when they do I want to try and snag "put@emailaddress.here"

I also have a domain just for the cool look of my personal email address.

My (family) name has an 'a' in it that I replace with the '@' of the email address, so Rauzy becomes r@uzy. I have the domain "uzy dot me" just for that.

A friend of mine saw this at some point, and decided to use the same trick, except his family name ends with the TLD of a country so he could also use that to (not gonna tell his email address here but, e.g., Grahams would be gr@ha.ms).
