I recently discovered something very unusual about the gmail email id.
Suppose that if you have a gmail id by the name of carlj...@gmail.com,then it is same as carl.j...@gmail.com and even same as c.a.r.l.j....@gmail.com,yes this is true there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE between these 3 ids.Ah, now i know you want to check them yourselves....go on....
The reason for this is that the gmail server does not recognise the dot(.) character and so this kind of thing occurs.
