I was going to leave this thread alone, but as my Grandma likes to tell me "You hate peace" 1. First if I offend anyone I am sorry 2. I think the gmail invites have spurred some good discusions (although most way over my head) 3. Maybe someone with a Gmail account can weigh in here, but I don't see why I would want one? I don't want google analyzing every email I send and then inserting their own content (ie ads, etc) into my mail. If they aren't doing this then I have misunderstood. Also I don't know if I like the we will keep your email forever even if you delete it? Again if I have misunderstood let me know. I don't think I need 1G of email of course it is nice that I got 100M from my throw away yahoo account because of it. But maybe I just don't get it because I am lucky enough for my employer to let me have a server on their IP space, and thus just run my own mail server. 4. If I would get a Gmail account from someone who is pimping one, would that make me their Gmail Ho?
