It's a Google alias thing. username.[xyz]=username[xyz]=username[xyz]+[anything here]. It's convenient when you need different identities pointing into the same inbox, but shenanigans when a different person tries to use it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's not a fail on gmail's part -- it has simply never bothered with dots in addresses, so FirstLast could never have signed up for that address in the first place. It's her problem if she keeps giving out that address...

I just want to know why people think that address is theirs, if gmail won't let them sign up for j.smith@ if jsmith@ is already taken.

Yeah, it's just people stupid.

I tracked at least one down, and she had a number in the correct one that was apparently too much to remember when giving her email to people.

I emailed this one once when I noticed a cc to another address. She didn't engage other than to say hers didn't have the dot.

Last week I was notified that her flight seats and gate assignments changed. Twice.

Well, aurelia, maybe she missed her flight? That's not much consolation.
