FireFox31 pooh-bah Registered: 19/09/2002 Posts: 2494 Loc: East Coast, USA	I'm just shocked at how EVERY possible version of my name was taken on GMail when I used an invite I received. I mean, full first and last name with a . in between. That doesn't seem so common, yet every variation was taken. How long has GMail been up that they could all be gone? Or did it get hit by spammers harvesting invites and generating their own in order to create more seemingly legitimate spam accounts? And do I have any hope of getting the name I like back (besides trying it every week to see if the "owner" has gone into inactivity and the account has lapsed (... which my account probably has...))? _________________________ - FireFox31 110gig MKIIa (30+80), Eutronix lights, 32 meg stacked RAM, Filener orange gel lens, Greenlights Lit Buttons green set

msaeger carpal tunnel Registered: 23/09/2000 Posts: 3608 Loc: Minnetonka, MN	Here's one Link I think there strategy is to keep going with the invitations for a while instead of just opening it up to prevent an initial flood or subscribers. _________________________ Matt

pgrzelak carpal tunnel Registered: 15/08/2000 Posts: 4859 Loc: New Jersey, USA	I am still wondering what the big deal is. Granted, I get spam like everyone else. But I really only use one personal email and one office email address. I usually download mail to my local machine, so I rarely run out of inbound space. Am I missing a major clue somewhere? _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs
