I have a [e-mail] email address. At first, I was super annoyed that I kept getting emails meant for [e-mail] and was upset that Google kept sending those emails to me. But as I later understood that Gmail is simply trying to avoid creation of multiple email accounts that are too similar, I realized something else. People are just ignorant and stupid. It's not Google's fault if those people don't know the correct email address of the person that they're trying to contact.

So people will continue to email the wrong person, and I will continue to receive those emails. Although I don't know why nobody ever emails [e-mail] as the wrong email. It's always [e-mail]. But whatever.

Because of people's ignorance and stupidity, I am changing my email address to a custom domain hosted by fastmail.com. It's just worth it in the end. Besides that, I'm currently living in China, and Fastmail is accessible here without VPN, while Gmail isn't. So two birds with one stone.

But it was not wanting to deal with ignorant and stupid people that was the driver for this move. The number of such wrongly directed emails seem to be increasing. Grr.

FYI, Gmail ignores dots before @.

[e-mail], [e-mail], and [e-mail] are all the same address.

Yes, I know. :)
