Have you considered the possibility that you may just be schizophrenic and are having a flame war with yourself? :D


BWHhahahahahahahah, this might be the case....

If that turned out to be the case (surely it isn't) this would be the funniest thing i have ever read on anandtech.

Dec 5 Update 6: I Win

Ok, the battle is over, and I am the victor.

I just got a call from Ken at T-Mobile, basically told me that he understood the situation, and that there had been some 'negative' communications between us. He explained that this had to stop, or we would both be in violation of contract (TOS - spamming or something).

He explained that this other guy had changed his reply to and send addresses to match my address. I don't know why he was able to do this, but I am assuming that T-Mobile will make sure it can't happen any more. This guy has the same last name as me, so it was just a coincidence. However, he explained that it was completely this guy's fault, but nonetheless it had to stop.

I am imagining that they contacted this guy, and he promptly went off telling them that I was harassing him and spamming him with threatening emails :)roll;), but I think the important thing is that I won.

Nananana naa naa! You got in trouble! Made you eat your parents!

Thus concludes my epic struggle.

Maybe in the re-release I can have it end in a face off between a rioting, torch-bearing crowd and myself, ending in me saying "You know, I learned something today..."

Horray for victory. The sad thing is that you had to spend hours of your life to fix something that really shouldn't be able to happen (any service credits for your emotional stress TMobile?) for an e-mail address that you'll likely never really use.

I don't get it. that explaines how you were receiving his e-mails, but doesn't explain how he was getting yours. was he receiving any e-mails? or just when they replied to his e-mails?
