I was there when gmail was invented
Was there during the invitation period
Someone picked my preferred name
I ended up with a kinda dumb name
Didn't matter much, because my primary email is a redirect, anyway, and gmail still lets me use those (kudos to them)
Google came up with Google Code (and other services) where your public gmail address is your identity
Nope, fuck off
Glad they died. Shame Github got eaten by Microsoft, but, eh...
Google hasn't really been good at letting people specify their identity, ever since
Yes, this is also a transgender user story, why do you ask?
