So some people try to guess email-addresses of other people and sometimes the emails end up in the wrong place?
And this is news?

Maybe it is and its soo dry, that it's actually hilarious. ..."The growing pains usually set in when startups reach 25 to 50 employees, as names begin to overlap, according to Josh Walter, who has designed email services for companies for the past eight years." I want that job, creating email address standards for startups.
