Too Dumb to Survive.
I think I've decided to stop being helpful here.

See, I'd been giving people the benefit of the doubt, but it turns out they don't deserve it at all. Let me restate for Jeremy, Joanne, Joshua, and others: My name is Jason Sullivan. I got my RoadRunner account before almost everyone in North Carolina, and certainly before everyone else with a last name of "Sullivan" and a first initial of "J". That means that I HAVE THE ADDRESS. THEY GAVE IT TO ME.

I initially thought you folks were just fooled by bad RoadRunner software that made folks think they actually got a requested e-mail address instead of being told it wasn't available. A few experiments this morning proved that was not the case. I'm forced to conclude that you're either prone to typos out the wazoo (and, for some reason don't correct them when you find yourself NOT GETTING E-MAIL), or you ACTUALLY BELIEVE YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS YOU HAVEN'T EVEN REGISTERED FOR. How are you trying to retrieve this e-mail? Where do you think it goes? It goes to me, duh.

I even went so far as to call Orbitz and talk to a nice person halfway around the world to make sure you didn't miss the flight that had been changed four times. I did this twice.

I am not doing it again.

I should just stop using that address completely, and send everything to /dev/null.

YOU ARE IN MY INTERNETS, CLOGGING MY TUBES.

Here, Here! I'm glad you're going to stop helping the stupid. Not only does it do no good, it only encourages them. Truly there's no moral obligation to help the stupid. I recall no "blessed are the stupid" in fact quite the opposite, "Suffer not the fool, as he is more dangerous than evil. Suffer not the ignorant for he is not want to learn wisdom." Sage advice.

No, you're confusing them with the dude who performed your vasectomy.

I actually know someone who thought that there was another person with her same email address and wondered how the computer knew who to deliver each message to.
