Will the real Joseph Cooper please step forward

I got my Gmail account pretty early in the game. According to Wikipedia, gmail accounts first started trickling out in March 2004. My first email dates back to August 2004. Getting in while invites were still something of a rarity meant that my name was still available as an address. Since I figured that I'd be using the account for a while, my name seemed like a better choice than my_favorite_80s_cartoon_character@gmail.com.

It's nice to have a good address. People don't have a hard time remembering it. The down side is that, with a name as common as mine, I get a lot of random communication from all across North America and Britain. An automobile repair shop in Arizona. A Geico insurance account in California. Overdue library books in North Carolina. Someone trying to open a merchant credit account for their new trade school in Canada. Someone's "BT Inspire" point accumulation in London. A letter from Avraham inviting me and Yeshua to spend Sukkot with their family. If it looks like a real person might get my response, I try to inform them that they must be missing a middle initial or some trailing digits, but I still continue to get lots of random messages.

Today I got this:

i've envisioned of writing this email nonstop for months now. i've imagined this for so long although I was afraid.....I love you. i won't keep living without saying something anymore. I need to say everything to you. I wrote all i want to say in a blogspot secretly. I'm very terrified yet im sure I have to act on this or i'll never have you. If I wake tomorrow and i see you've answered i will realize I didn't fantasize this.

There was a link that I didn't click on because this actually looks more like an attempt to get me to click on an infected webpage in order to download malware onto my machine. But who knows? Maybe someone is actually in love with a Joseph somewhere... but not enough to find out his real email address.
