I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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.

Because books.

There's a [myname] with no dot in Scotland, and I get stuff from her dentist and the places she has online subscriptions. There's another one in Chicago, and I usually get online purchase receipts for her.

username.[xyz]=username[xyz]=username[xyz]+[anything here]

So john.smith = johnsmith = johnsmithman are all the same?

So john.smith = johnsmith = johnsmithman are all the same?

Small correction:

john.smith = johnsmith = johnsmith+man

First two parts. If you use a plus sign, everything after it is ignored. So john.smith=johnsmith=johnsmith+blebbityblahblah.

It's a serious godsend for my testing work. I can't use our work email (no test system email) for it, but have to create multiple identifies with different permissions. So gmail, all one inbox, different emails that in our system register as different identities. I've hurt people's brains explaining this.

I didn't know that about the plus sign. Cool.

Useful for filters. Using you as an example, you could set up a comment email form on book X's site to go to Amy+bookx@gmail.com and then set up a filter in Gmail to put those into a folder so they don't clutter your personal inbox, but you don't need another login.

That's awesome! I am so going to use that.
