The ace thing about being one of the first people to sign up with Gmail is that I got my firstname.surname@gmail.com e-mail address. This is cool and makes giving out my address really easy. If I was single I'm sure I could impress loads of hot chicks at the bar by dropping my super sweet GMail address.
On the negative side, now that GMail has grown into a behemoth it seems that at least half of the people in the world who share my name are giving out my e-mail address as their bastard contact address. Word of mouth I could understand, but just how stupid do you have to be to put a wrong e-mail address on your CV or a job application?
Is there any etiquette you are supposed to follow for this kind of thing, or maybe a standard reply for when you're answering somebody elses e-mail for the 4th time today?

Ah yes, I'm in the same boat entirely. There's someone in America with the same name as me who would quite likely hunt me down and kill me after I've changed their seating arrangements on planes, closed down various accounts to which they've signed up, and replied rudely to all their friends. Well, they would if they weren't so pig-thick stupid. I mean *honestly*.
Me three, although I'm sure I have three people that do it, one in the states and 2 in the UK. I had a load of lawyers stuff this morning...
At least I now feel better about some of my more choice replies. People are stupid.
