But I accept and agree to whatever you said, KG too had pointed this out earlier so as my exams are over I am spending quite sometime in coming out of this mess (esp. Google Cloud) because when you talk about something,and you yourself don't practice it, your words won't have much impact on audience. I use Gmail in html mode so Ads aren't there, I know that its not the best but it is a bit better. > Also, shouldn't you be concerned about your twitter and facebook > account - since you are concerned about privacy and the possible > threat of an insurance company denying insurance to you?

Yeah, I am concerned about that too, so I have stopped giving them more data. Well truly the reason I have to be there is because I want to share FOSS related updates with every one(esp. non-FOSS) to make them aware,and you know that there are huge no. of them on Facebook (Unfortunately). As far as Twitter is concerned, I use it more passively now, and most of update come through identi.ca but again the reason being on this is network with FOSS people or make the non-FOSS one's aware. PS: I truly want to come out of these and I am trying step by step I will be out of Google cloud soon now have a fastmail account will be posting from that now onwards. And waiting for Diaspora to fix the facebook issue. Twitter one is already fixed with identi.ca as you see in my signature. -- Parin Sharma http://identi.ca/fossmaniac Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
