Hey google, siri, or Alexa phoning home and your information put into a local database as a new person in the area for which they have bought your address.... I could believe that. -- J.

Howdy,
I've noticed something odd. When I lived in Virginia, I started receiving email directly to my gmail box from my U.S. Representative. Unsolicited spam from Congressmen is nothing new but it was a little odd that they found my gmail box (which I don't give out) and not one of the hundreds of aliases at herrin.us or dirtside.com which I do give out. The gmail box exists only in mail headers; "From" is always a different address.
I moved to Seattle. Today I found my grmail box subscribed to a congressman's list from a nearby Washington jurisdiction. Not some random congressman. And not any of the addresses I give out; my gmail box's address which I don't.
Anyone else have a similar experience? Any idea how a hidden address is making it on to relevant congressmens' lists but not any others? That's weird right?
Regards, Bill Herrin
