    Yes. Gmail allows you to put a dot anywhere in your address.

    So could be john.smith or jo.hnsmith

    They all go to the same place.

    Yup

    Funnily enough I tried to test it and someone already uses that as an email.

    added:

    ahhhh I didn't realize that was the reason


    From now on when I have to give an email over the phone and I want to annoy someone I will say:

    It means you can easily create rules for your email.

    For example john.smith would go to once folder (tag) and jo.hnsmith goes somewhere else.

    Gmail allows you to put a dot in your email but not Underscores "_"
    so yes I think is valid ;)
