[email protected] and her email is
[email protected].
I've been tempted to email the person to see how their trip to London was, but I haven't emailed her... yet.
Bogus explanation...
On gmail, periods do not differentiate email addresses. There is no way you have first.last@ and someone else has firstlast@.
In fact, you could email f.i.r.s.t.l.a.s.t@, fir.stla.st@, or fi.rs.tl.as.t@ and you will get the email.
Yes, GMail does let you play games with usernames and it's probably not as simple as a period vs not.
What I'd really be concerned with is why your email is now showing up on her account? Is this a new account or someone fudged in making a change?
