Hi Billy, In Russell Beale's original paper about slanty design (which was the basis for Lockton's post) he hypothesized about the rationale for the missing delete button:
> Google uses your body of email to mine > for information it uses to target the ads it delivers > to generate revenue; indeed, deleting it would be > detrimental to the service. If effect he's saying that omitting the delete button wasn't beacuse they thought people wouldn't need it, but because using it would directly affect Google's bottom line. // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
