And then of course, the client autocompletes names as the primary behavior when setting up receipients, so each Larry is always receiving email intended for the others. If they're anything like me, they just delete them.
I have a mildly common name and am the "victim" of misfires all the time. Sometimes due to auto-complete, sometimes due to the fact gmail can't consistently tell the difference between [email protected] and [email protected]. (I own the former, not the latter.) Unfortunately, my conscience dictates I have to forward at least some of the e-mails. It is very un-BOFH-like to try and track down the real recipient, but you gotta do what you gotta do. -Jon
