Sometimes I get email for a Prof. John Marley (or Dr. John Marley). It hasn't happened in a while. I usually just mark it spam and delete it. Today however, the body of the email included the address it was meant to go to.
johnmarley@gmail.com
That isn't me.
My email address is john.marley@gmail.com
So I did a search on the mistaken address. What I found is that there is a doctor in Australia named John E. Marley, whose email address is prof.johnmarley@gmail.com.
So if someone leaves the "prof." off, gmail probably finds my address before his as a best guess. I suppose I'll forward the mail I received today to him.

gmail actually ignores dots. you can put them in anywhere in any gmail address. so to gmail, you are johnmarley@gmail.com
