Its a weirdness that we have not been able to understand exactly how people get this to happen, but somewhere in your iPhone contacts or address book, you have an entry set up with the name "Seeking Alpha" pointing to your email address.  When you delete this entry, the problem goes away.  We certainly have no permissions in our app to edit your contacts, so I have not been able to figure out exactly how or why Apple makes this association or how this contact got added.  If you remember anything you may have clicked on that might explain this, please let me know.
