Exclamation Getting More from your Gmail Address (with dots and plus signs!)

So the Gmail Blog recently posted an article explaining how we can modify our username to include any number or configuration of dots (ex. user.name@gmail.com = username@gmail.com = u.s.e.r.n.a.me....@gmail.com) OR by adding any sort of characters we want after a plus sign (ex. user.name@gmail.com = username+areyousendingmespam@gmail.com).
This is totally awesome.
Naturally I had to check it out, but I noticed one thing: if I send mail to a modified address whose mail is forwarded to a different e-mail address, I don't get it. This makes me sad. But yes, I just thought everyone should know that if you, say, don't differentiate between first.surname@gmail.com and firstsurname@gmail.com, you may not receive info about job opportunities in your funname@gmail.com account.
