It's amazing who you can contact via email on the internet. Today at work I've been bored so I've been emailing people randomly - and getting responses.
And when I say, emailing randomly, I mean attempting to establish contact with people just by guessing their email address.
Currently, i've managed to contact Ron Gilbert, Charles Cecil and Hal Barwood, all through guessing.
The fun continues. Let's see who else I can pester simply because everyone uses firstname.lastname@companyname.com

After searching the net for a while, I found some famous peoples emails in which I got, "Where did you get this email!?! Never email here again of I'll sue your ass off!!!"
Britney Spears which was easy to find
Bill Gates who responded "Hi, I'm glad you like my programs! Never email here again!"
And that one forgien lady from the morning news on nbc :)
Though I'm shure these where all people faking it to be popular it was still funny... :)
I think you need to broadcast that Britney email address here...
:P

Try Bill.Clinton@topsecreatinfo.com :P
I tried clark.kent@dailyplanet.com and I started getting all those damn chainletters and viruses from him. Also, his spelling is terrible.
Who actually has an email address with a dot in the middle? Really, only 2.8571428571428571428571428571429% of the emails in my address book have a dot in the middle.
/me knows that there is no way m0ds can guess his new email address
/me checks email
I guess I spoke too soon
People with jobs I suppose trap, company emails. And most people don't give away their job emails to friends so thus the first.last adresses are for colleagues only.
most of the emails I get from tech support people are in first.last format.
Oh no I think I'll soon be tracked down by m0ds!
/me yells loudly and do a MRE - M0Ds Rape Escape.
