Today's tech fuckup that's making life unnecessarily difficult: Zinio associates subscriptions with e-mail addresses, which really screws with the fact that I don't use the same e-mail address on every single website.
If they said any of this up front, I could have made sure to use the same, but now I have A Problem™.
Falsehoods Programmers Believe About E-Mail:
- people have one unique e-mail address.
- that e-mail address never changes.
- people know their own email address
I don't have a common name, but even so, it's nuts the number of people who have apparently believed my Gmail account was their email address.
It's not even a case of expecting it to be spammed.
People have used my email address for their bank contact, for their brokerage, for their car registration, and similar things.
I could have done Bad Things to some of these people, had I been malicious.
