If you use gmail as your email address this is an interesting trick to help keep spammers from harvesting your email address. What the article says is that gmail ignores any . in your address and also ignores anything after + if you add either to your address. So if your address is [email protected] and you need to sign up somewhere you don't want to get emails from just add an extra . or two. Then if the spammer doesn't use gmail servers that email address should not work for them.
