Again, and for the last time, that's for sending email to me.
When you get a reply it will come from @eevblog.com

Sure. And that's clear as mud to anyone who might want to check the viability of the sender address of an email which claims to come from you.  ::)

They are all listed on my damn website in the Contact page, as well as being blatantly obvious to even Stevie Wonder that @eevblog.com is my official website.
It's extremely common practice for people to have multiple domain emails these days, and anyone with any modicum of intelligence knows this.

Not sure why you feel the need to face-palm me and question my intelligence. I don't think I have insulted you in any similar way.

It was you who got excited about the impersonation scam (understandably so), and there is no doubt that your generous use of generic gmail addresses does not help to provide clarity to email recipients. Frankly, I don't understand why you don't transition to "@eevblog.com" addresses throughout. They provide a "seal of authenticity", and help your brand.

Because you keep harping on about it, as if it's I'm doomed if I don't use only my own eevblog.com domain.

Here you go again...
I could, but I won't, just to annoy some people ;D
magic:
Perhaps they wouldn't have fallen for @hotmail because @gmail is more popular and raises fewer eyebrows.

But here's the problem: you can use your own email all day long and unless you become a world famous gmail hater, people will still assume that name@gmail is yours. And even if you are a gmail hater not everybody will know about it.

I have a name@gmail account which sometimes receives other people's mail because somebody sends it to name@gmail instead of name@somethingelse :-DD
