All,
I happened to read the exchange where Gmail thought some CF-Talk mail was
spam and tagged it thus.

Today, I just realized an interesting 'feature' about Gmail. I own a Gmail
account with the username george.abraham (note the period between the
words.) I Do NOT however own georgeabraham (no period between the words
george and abraham.)

For the past 2 months, I have been intermittently getting email that was
addressed to georgeabraham(AT)gmail.com. I kept wondering why I am getting
this person's email. I finally decided to complain about/investigate it. I
found this in Gmail's FAQ.

Is this acceptable? It sounds like a pretty interesting approach to
usernames to me.

George
