Don't read too much into this. My main email account is in the original list that was posted in October of 2014. My account that is listed is myname@gmail.com. The password though is not the password to myname@gmail.com but rather to my "junk" site password.

For almost any site I have an account, I use a strong, unique password. For sites that I don't care about at all AND that I suspect have security problems I use a standard common insecure password. It is that common insecure password that is paired with my gmail account.
