I didn't find your post offensive, insensitive or whatever, just completely unnecessary. Everyone knew what I was talking about. Regardless of your intention, if you're finding most people are finding you offensive, maybe you should consider how you're posting.
Let's just move on. This isn't the place for this discussion. For clarification, the issue I see is with multi-megabyte files (12MB+) being unacceptably slow and google giving up on us with TLS on. We're on a 100megabit per second line. Without TLS I see 15megabyte emails from gmail come through in mere seconds. With TLS on it can take 2+ minutes per megabyte, which is about 0.1Mbps = awful. Yes, there's overhead for TLS, and TLS on for all other providers is definitely slower, but not slow like it is for Google's servers.
