New LJ "feature" you may want to opt out of

[asterroc]

LJ has added a new "feature" that allows people to find your username based upon your email address. If you don't like that idea, go to the Edit Profile page, scroll down twice to "Contact Info" and under "Find by email" pick your choice.

Edit: This means if you signed up with an email address that your coworkers or students know, that they can find your account! Be scared! Go fix it!

MoreEdit: Apparently it actually defaults (sensibly) to you being unfindable, but I still would rather set it manually to unfindable.
