I think you must read this thread very carefully again. Where did I say
anything against FOSS? Where did I say software must be charged? Don't put
words into my mouth just for your arguments sake.

By the way I do pay Google for some of my accounts. This particular email is
free, but I pay for domain and web services. But that was only incidental. I
would love to continue using googles's free service and i do!

So what is the point you are making? Are you suggesting that I have no right
to make the arguments I am making because i am paying/not paying  Google?
Don't be ridiculous. Carefully read the whole thread again and let us talk.
