not entirely odd, though. "www" is nothing but a subdomain. Just like how forums in forums.site.com is a subdomain, so is www a subdomain in any site where the url is www.site.com. And as I'm sure everyone here knows, subdomains can be used in email addresses too. Never seen a someone@foo.bar.mit.edu address? or something similar. I'm sure you have. That could just as easily be @www.something.com - the only difference is that generally, nobody with clue makes their subdomain a working part of the email domain, and hence, using that will bounce (as for the email protocol it shows up as inexistant).
You can do all sortsa fun things with all this.
I think they meant the www. before the @ sign though.
