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. > > I assume you are walking the walk and paying google for that gmail account, > so that nobody gets the idea that you support any business model that > depends on giving away free services. > 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.
