… i require more info to process what you are saying - many, many people make accounts for you at Amazon/Ebay/$GamingSite with your gmail addy and then you go and create passwords?

No, due to this, which Google claim is a feature: https://gmail.googleblog.com/2008/03/2-hidden-ways-to-get-more-from-your.htm... Essentially, anyone e-mailing the regex s\.?c\.?r\.?u\.?s\.?s\+.* (with some limitations on the last bit) at gmail.com gets to me. I have one repeat offender setting up ebay accounts that even a family intervention failed to stop. Another was a chancer who really wanted the scruss@ address, so they signed up for an expensive all-access gaming site pass with it, then expected me to give them the account. In both cases, I randomized the password to something I couldn't know (piping the password into xclip so I can't see it helps) and moved on. cheers, Stewart
