     Still more email for Sean Conner, and a disturbing warning from Gmail
                                        
Ah, the start of the Christmas season! A time when a lot of people visit
friends and family for the holidays. So it wasn't terribly surprising when I
received an invitation for a family reunion. For the GXXX family out of
Chigaco, from, as it turns out, my Uncle James PXXXXXXX. The only thing is—I
don't have any known family in Chicago, much less know anyone in the GXXX
family, nor do I have an uncle names James PXXXXXXX.

Sigh.

People! Please! Double check email addresses if you are unsure, just don't
blindly assume that firstnamelastname@gmail.com will end up with the right
person.

Also, in the email chain, I see Gmail label my outgoing email with a large
cautionary warning in bold on a red background:

> [EXTERNAL EMAIL]: Use Caution
> 

Gee, thanks Gmail. How long until you start outright rejecting email to or
from anyone not using Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo or Gmail? Or am I just too
cynical?
