Idiots sending you "test" e-mails to see if your name is already taken? It's always the same ...

Nope. I have a pretty uncommon last name. My email is the rather generic first initial last name at gmail.

Nope. I guess you shouldn't have taken butsex@gmail.com for an address

No, but I've always got like 200 emails in the spam folder. I never got near this much spam on any other email addresses I have.

nope. i have saxguy@gmail.com and my wife has her-firstname@gmail.com and (i just checked) none of us ever received anything like that.

i did get this very long spam e-mail (that didn't get filtered to the Spam box) completely in chinese though. that one was kind of funny :)

oh, i also received several 'password verification' thing from google also, obviously from the 'forgot password' link. i don't know if it's someone who forgot his login name or if it's someone who wants to try to steal my account.

To date I have gotten exactly zero (0) spam emails to my gmail account.

Go me.
