Went through a series of interviews back in March - May. Got several rejections recently, 4 - 5 months after my last communication from these companies. Yeah, it's okay. I got the message already.

Likewise I have no fewer than three people trying to use a gmail address I've had since 2003 as their own. It's extremely frustrating - one even sent me $45,000 in a mistaken paypal transfer and then when I reversed the charges I
