Comment:
Does this not further expose the ability to grief another user with reset-
password emails? Usernames are more prevalent as (often persistent) online
personas, and emails are, comparatively speaking, closely guarded
(largely, I suspect, because of the deluge of spam).
In a scenario such as say, a forum, where people may not always get on,
providing the ability to easily send a reset-password email to anyone
who's username you can see seems like an open invitation to annoy.
