I have [first-initial][last-name]@gmail.con. My last name is pretty uncommon, but there are at least a thousand of us or so in the US. I probably get a dozen emails a month to people who are not me (not counting all the ones that end up in the spam folder after I'm on a damn list). Susan. Stephen. Another Sam. So many damn S. Lastnames around. On occasion I've tracked the people down. I've forwarded their emails if they seem important. And whenever I ask that they be more careful and memorize their own email address, they get defensive and tell me someone else made a mistake. Buddy, this email was was an automated response from a computer after you signed up for something. No, it did not just randomly decide to send to my @gmail instead of your actual @yahoo address. YOU just don't know your own email.
