This guy reminds me of an asshole I used to work for. The company was called ABC, say, so he set everyone up with ABC-Alice@gmail.com, ABC-Bob@gmail.com, and so on. He got really, really pissed off when ABC-NewStarter wasn't available to the extent that he wrote non-stop emails to the person who registered it, Google, his solicitor, even the police demanding it be relinquished and moaned non-stop that the world wasn't bending to his whim.
I'm not supporting Google - it's annoying that they're revoking a feature - but this is a real XKCD 1150 situation.
