OK, this seems very weird to me.  For some time, mail addressed to
chouse...@gmail.com has been delivered to my c.house...@gmail.com mailbox.
I thought, at some point, I created the chouseman mailbox and configured
forwarding.  But I couldn't sign in to Google with the chouseman address and
no attempts to use their automatic password reset worked.   About 3 months
ago I went the distance trying to reset the password, using the last resort
method several times.  Each time I received an automatic message telling me
I should be able to access the account, but of course, I never could.

And then today this comes in:
----------------------------
From: accounts-nore...@google.com [mailto:accounts-nore...@google.com] 
Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 3:55 PM
To: chouse...@gmail.com
Subject: Google Username Assistance

We searched our database but we were unable to find any usernames associated
with your email address chouse...@gmail.com.

<snipped instructions for accessing my account, which apparently doesn't
exist>
----------------------------

So the takeaway from that message is what, exactly?  There's no username,
therefore there is no account associated with chouse...@gmail.com?  And
nonetheless, I have to keep receiving e-mail for that address?  I don't see
where a Google account can have multiple e-mail addresses tied to it as
Exchange can, but apparently that's what has happened?

It's crap like this that will keep me from ever recommending cloud services
from Google.
