Glad to know I'm not alone in being a john.smith@gmail.com and receiving emails for johnsmith@gmail.com. For a while I was concerned there was some issue where there was an existing johnsmith@gmail.com before I created mine and gmail just fused them. But it seems more likely whoever this other johnsmith is, they just think they have this email.
