Do Google have any plans to stop people from signing up for the really popular addresses (eg. sex[put at-character here]gmail.com etc.) and then selling them for large sums of money? Have they reserved these accounts?

(Sorry did i already post this somewhere else? If i have done it twice, sorry)

I'm sure "sex" was just an example you chose, because it could never be taken – Gmail names must be from 6-30 characters. Still I believe they reserved a list of very popular names. I'm not sure but I was one of the first few thousands (I believe) and "Philipp" was taken from my day 1.

Do you have specific Gmail names in mind? Did you see this on ebay?
