Not just that dot can put put in or removed at will, you can use a '+' sign to your actual address for filtering later on.
When I give my gmail address to a site I suspect can spam me later, I put it as myname+canspam@gmail.com and a filter at my gmail puts them neatly in a separate label and archived so my inbox remains clean.

GMail think its soooo smart... Pathetic!
The dots in a Gmail address
A lot of people probably already know this, but I just found out. We often mix up email addresses just because they do or do not have a dot (.) in them. For example, I might have ahmedsajjad@example.com, but people will often email me at ahmed.sajjad@example.com which normally would fail.
It seems that Google had the foresight to take care of this when they launched GMail. Both of the above addresses would be treated as a single one with GMail so you can put a dot anywhere in the "localpart" area and it would still work.
A small, but useful detail.
