[ga] Gmail Mis.delivered?

All former DNSO GA members or other interested stakeholders/users,

Vint my good man, even the average "takeholders/user" knows
better than his nonsense..

"Google doesn't make many mistakes but when it
does, boy, are they doozies! The latest is that Gmail doesn't care about

periods in usernames. So mail sent to anonymous.coward@xxxxxxxxx is
also delivered to anonymouscoward@xxxxxxxxx, even though these are two
separate mail accounts. Google admits Gmail doesn't see periods, but
no word on a fix yet." Update: As may users have pointed out Ars has
since corrected the story, stating that the original submitter was
mistaken and the email was just improperly addressed.
