Re: Who Want's A Gmail Account?

I wouldn't be surprised if early-adopters are getting spammed. Maybe some others recall if you logged into gmail with a username that didn't exist or one where the password was just wrong, you'd get two different responses. Great way for spammers to figure out what names were available. I imagine there are spam bots hammering away at gmail's server. Maybe some trying to create usernames.. and if they already exist, spam them! Who knows.
