At Least Once a Month I Get An Email and the Sender Has the Same Name as Someone I know

At least once a month I get an email or application from someone that has the same name or identifying info as someone in my vanilla life. My heart always stops for a moment, as I momentarily think it really is a colleague from my vanilla job or acquaintance from a social group I'm part of.  After over 4 years of this, I know that it never ends up being someone I know. But for just that split second, I think it is.

Hard to believe that there are so many people I know on the spanking/fetish scene that have the same first + last name as someone I know in the vanilla world.  But yes, it happens all the time.
