after logging out of gmail for the first time in awhile (as i usually only use imap) i was presented with the following message --

"New! Save your friends from outdated email- Do you still have that one friend who hasn't made the switch to Gmail? It's time to take a stand and stage an email intervention. Learn how »"

well, that has finally pushed me over the edge, and i am now moving all my personal and corporate emails off of gmail. there is absolutely nothing wrong with traditional (ISP or domain based) email solutions, and absolutely no advantage i can see from using gmail, except to them. I WILL NOT BE ASSIMILATED!i know it isn't google, but a fairly good analogy, as google is fast becoming the micro$oft of the 21st century, but -
