"Here’s what happened: users who searched 'Gmail' were led to a results page with a link that said 'Email.' Clicking that link created a new email with Peck’s address – dsp559@hotmail.com — already filled in. A tipster pointed this out to TechCrunch, who then tracked down the owner of the email address: David S. Peck of Fresno, Calif. They gave him a call to see just how badly this bizarre glitch was affecting him.
“'I’ve been getting thousands of no-subject, blank emails,' Peck told TechCrunch. '500 of them come every hour, I can’t stop them.'"

I wonder what type of glitch could cause such an event? Bet the political parties are investigating the glitch to serve their many diabolical plans.
That response took a lot of thought Andy. Haha
Diabolical and nefarious.
Reminds me of the time about 20 years ago the address labeler for Playboy Magazine stuck and labeled a little over 10,000 magazines for one guy. No one caught it and they went to the post office and the post office is required to deliver them.
He had them stacked up in his front yard.
Maybe he should start reading through it all... there might be something that someone wants to keep secret? Hmmm. Nefarious, indeed!
Ser, I missed that story because I was too busy reading all the magazines that year.... No wonder I felt like I had read those before.
I thought they were all current editions because the pages were clean.
