GMail User-Friendly Email Addresses

I noticed that someone sent me an email to my GMail account using Firstname.Lastname@gmail.com when my account name is FirstnameLastname@gmail.com, but it still got to me. How nice. GMail treats uniqueness of usernames excluding the dots. From GMail help:

Because Gmail doesn’t recognize dots as characters within usernames, adding or removing dots from a Gmail address won’t change the actual destination address. Messages sent to yourusername@gmail.com and y.o.u.r.u.s.e.r.n.a.m.e@gmail.com are all delivered to your Inbox, and only yours.

Gmail allows only one registration for any given username. Once you sign up for a particular username, any dot variations are made permanently unavailable for new accounts. If you believe that a message was sent to you accidentally, we suggest contacting the sender to inform him or her of an incorrect address.

Good job Google. You probably saved a lot of people a lot of headache and embarrassment by preventing them from sending stuff to the wrong person. Kudos.
