>> I have a common name for a gmail address (early adopter). I get emails for every Steve, Shirley, Shane, Stephanie, Sam, etc in the world who have my last name

I do, too.

Have fun with it?

I get emails for every "J" name with my same last name. At times I respond and get into a whole lot of mischief.

Yes, it can be tempting, especially the chain mail senders who ignore my "you have the wrong email address" pleas.
