Gmail and Privacy issues

I have a Google Gmail Account, and i found that there are privacy issues with Gmail.

the story goes like this...

I have an email id which is like xyz.abc@gmail.com and there is one another interesting friend of mine who has an email id xyzabc@gmail.com . All the emails (read it as confidential emails) comes to me which are written for xyzabc@gmail.com to me who is xyz.abc@gmail.com.

Its a great privacy issue for Google and i dont know how many gmail users are doing this. I now realize what the slogan on the american dollar bill is

in God we Trust and in Google we Mis-Trust :)

Google, come on correct your mistakes soon...
