Why does this guy have 2 gmail accounts?

You remember that scene in The Thick of It where Malcolm is chewing out two different people in two different conversations at the same time, and they wonder how he’s doing it, and it turns out he’s screaming into two cell phones, one in each hand?

I was reminded of this when a colleague revealed to me that he had two different gmail accounts. He explained:

One of them (***@gmail.com) I give to humans, and the other I give to non-humans. I started this a long time ago. Emails to ***@gmail.com are far more likely to be important.

Clever!
