I would estimate about 0.25% of people will make a typo like "@homail.com" or "@gmial.com" Multiply that by say, 130,000 people, and you are dealing with 325 people who don't receive their download, etc. and are not happy! I think what woul

I think what's crazy is that Google has ignored the Google Code spam issue. People really should have an opt-in checkbox that says "Should this message be forwarded to 852 starred recipients?" or [insert armchair solution here]. It really
