 * Hello Brandon,
 * Your plugin is great. Thank you for developing it.
 * Is there any possible way to automatically create an email-based author slug 
   when the account is created? I’m working on a site where the primary keyword 
   is the user’s email address (I know, it’s kind of weird) and I need to manually
   set my slug to something like this:
 * site.com/author/authorsemailaddress-gmail-com
    site.com/author/authorsemailaddress-
   yahoo-com
 * It would be great to have this feature under Author Slug drop-down so that the
   plugin will do this for me automatically.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks for the suggestion. I’m leery of adding this directly to the plugin, because
   of the privacy implications. That being said. I’ve added enough filters that 
   you could code this yourself. I’ve made a quick plugin that you can use to solve
   your issue while I mull it over.

 * For some reason I never got notified about this. I installed the plugin and works
   like a charm. Thank you very much!
