Fixes the problem by adding a conditional in the header file. If the e-mail is equal to 'none@nomail.com' it will automatically pass it the Twitter id. The workaround works, and fixes the issue. But I'm not sure it's the most elegant solution. It's ready to close so long as we don't mind hammering the change through in what way. Now it will display 'Signed in as @walshbr.' Note that the @ symbol is added in ruby and is not part of the database.
