Gmail doesn't understand periods in email addresses apparently.

So if you have a gmail account like foo.bar@gmail.com, you should make sure you also have foobar@gmail.com so someone else isn't getting your mail.

That is especially awesome, since they recommend firstname.lastname@gmail.com when you go to sign up.

Yeah, I actually have a firstname.lastname address, and I put it on the fucking resumes I've been handing out. Whatever, I didn't need a stinking job anyway, right? Grumble.

Though they still have my undying loyalty for telling the DOJ what it could suck when they came knocking.

I was using it for bills and whatnot. Fabulous.

They get away with huge, GAPING security flaws like that by saying "But it's a beta" and just telling you to deal. For some unknown reason, this placates the Google fanboyz.

It ceases to be a beta when people rely heavily on it.

On the plus side it appears that will not allow me to create mykeyunis since myke.yunis exists. I assume that if this was ever an issue, at one time they allowed mykeyunis to be created if myke.yunis existed and they have since fixed that.
