it sucks that even though i haven't actively used gmail in at least 5 years, google is still able to hoover up my personal, and what should be private, info. and this kind of anti-competitiveness, which seems to come to light occasionally and only dimly at that, stinks just as bad. i can't wait until everyone else realizes how insidious a company google is. it's starting to happen. i'm hearing the low rumbles among (non-technical) folks i know. thank goodness!
