Re: Stupid
said by DaMaGeINC  :
Gmail is another stupid product of the internet. 1gig of email. What a waste of space.
It's not the 1gig that is the primary feature of GMail - it's how they've designed the mail threads to appear as "conversations". Essentially, the 1GB is just to augment the ability to use the GMail box as a life recorder - essentially a lifetime storage of all your Internet correspondence.

Unfortunately, that means Google is recording your life. Not a good thing in my book. |

I think the idea is to get people to spread the address around so it picks up actual spam, rather than sending it junk themselves. |

| Well DOH!!! I know he is trying to get SPAM by spreading it to test Gmail's spam blocker. What I meant was that people like you or I could just send him a mail (many people have) with our personal address and he could collect it and sell it to SPAM companies.

As if RoadRunner doesn't already keep a copy of everything that you receive or send for compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

No, I really don't think RoadRunner takes the time to crack the 128 bit encryption I use when communicating with my email service so that they can log it.  |
