I really have been lucky that my GMAIL account (which is my primary account that I use) has been virtually spam free. I used my real name! and I haven't gotten any personalized spam ever that I am aware of, and I had a gmail account from day 1. I do share my calendar with a select few but again, no problems, YET. Still for those with the conspiracy theories against GOOGLE and everything they do... just great more FUEL for the FIRE. Personally, it does not bother me all that much.

Google has closed this hole. I tried it after I read about this a few days ago and it worked. Now it does not. You’re a little late to the game on this one. Google has closed this hole.

I created a new gmail account a few months back that I use for sending resumes (strictly professional use and to a very limited number of people). Yet within a few days, I was getting spam mail on that account. While Google does a good job of dumping most all spam into the spam folder, I'd like gmail even better if they could find a way to not even send me the spam (or not allow it into the system in the first place).

It's a valid point. But many users access other Google services like Adwords or Adsense where they have to use their real names. THAT’S SHOCKING! It’s a valid point.
