Ram! Just couldn't help it, I burst out laughing at this quirk that I have noticed on Gmail all the time (for which, no doubt, some worthy Krishnamurthy or Ranga Rao got a bonus) and your response. I think silk-list inviting TBD to gmail would be more appropriate... On a tangent parallel to your own, what happened to the "group talk" feature that Google introduced as the equivalent of conference on Yahoo chat? I must say, Yahoo chat for the lay user has Gtalk beaten all ways....Gtalk on Gmail has some glitch whereby, very often, I am told that I am signed out of Gmail when I am not; then I have to go and clear the cache and do sundry other chores to get that message off. And to go back to the email id thread, I have done both...shared an email id with the spouse, and then moved to a separate one as work-related emails started increasing on the first id. I have had people being amazed that each member of a family had a separate email id, and still know families who share one...but I think the essential thing is that each member who uses that id, identifies hesself at the beginning of the communication... a simple thing to do. We have all done that sometimes..on Skype or something similar, when a friend's id is logged on, we say, or used to say, "this is actually so-and-so talking on you-know-who's id". \
