If it breaks, then you get someone else to fix it / get a better product is all they need to know.
- gsich 6y agoNot everything is a car analogy. But if you want ... it's like having a drivers license. Or: you only "drive" self-driving cars. In case of emergency you don't know what to do. Perhaps an even better analogy.
- lanstin 6y agoI have my own domain, my own bind and my own mail servers. I forward all the mail to google for reading and searching and the main value I get out of it is I actually understand how DNS and SMTP work. Which comes in handy once a quarter at work. I book marked TFA because I never got the newer (!) stuff setup like proper TLS and DKIM. It is very old setup from like 2005 or so and I think is grandfathered into Gmail somehow. At least my newest domain I treated worst than my older ones.
