Of course, this gmail ignores dots in the address and considers them the same email address. Oddly enough, Google DOES consider the dot when assigning account usernames. Go figure.

I've been getting emails off and on for this person for a couple years sporadically. At one point, she must have been on holiday and asked that her work colleagues use her personal email address. That was actually pretty interesting, as I happen to be a consultant in her field of work. I feel bad getting emails about signing up her kids for judo or tennis lessons, or getting PTA news. I can't forward them to her b/c they just show right back up in MY inbox!
