I've had a Gmail [1] account for nearly a decade now, although I never use it. I think I got one back in the day to see for myself the hype around this new email service from Google [2]. I obtained the account early enough to snag the address sean.conner@gmail.com (but don't send anything there—it might be months before I get to it).
But the weird thing is that I constantly get email meant for other Sean Conners. I checked today and …
And all this just in the past week!
What I find amazing and uncomprehensible is … do these other Sean Conners not know their own email address? Do they just assume sean.conner@gmail.com will somehow, magically, get to them? Do they not care? Do other people sending the email just assume that sean.conner@gmail.com will get to the Sean Conner they know?
What's going on?
I do respond to some of these (the ones that don't appear to be spam at least), informing the sender that they have the wrong Sean Conner, but rarely do I ever get a message back.
It's bizarre.
