I'm with Scott McNeally. "You _have_ no privacy on the Internet. Get over it." If I cared, I could run my own server, PGP everything, etc. I am capable of it. But [a] life's too short [b] Gmail is a very good service, runs on all my PCs and devices, keeps them all in sync -- mail, address book and calendar [c] Even if I did go PGP-crazy, there are very few people I could communicate with. I have other email addresses. Lots of 'em. About 5 still get checked regularly. But, frankly, Gmail is the best, so I stay with it. I am paranoid enough to use a local client to keep a local backup, though... -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR)
