I'm a big fan of Google services in general, and use quite a few of them.  I don't happen to use gmail though.  I do have a gmail address as part of my account, but I don't ever check it.  I have added my regular email account as an alternate in my account settings, but I can't seem to figure out how to make the alternate address the primary one.  Because of this I never get any notices from my account because they all go to gmail, which I never look at.This page: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1045580?hl=en#has a note about setting the alternate address as the primary by first deleting it, but gives no further information on what to do next.  OK, I've deleted it about a dozen times now but I still can't set it as the primary address.Anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.
