Not sure what your referring to, but there is *no* username used on any
of these mailing lists.  You sign up with the *email* that you want to
use on the mailing list, and *that* is sort of your username.  You can't
use something like username12 or name2notmention as that won't work.

Now, you can go to the options and select "yes" to have your email
hidden when someone (I assume an admin) tries to view the subscribers on
the list.
