Neither. I don't at all hate Google (I quite like the company, and what it's done for the world), and I use plenty of other Google services - as you can see, I'm posting from gmail here. The only thing I call out against is Google Groups, because it is buggy. I'll cry out against anything else that's buggy, too. Of course, I'll first try to do things quietly (bug reports to the maintainers), but ultimately, the solution to buggy software is to NOT USE IT. If Google doesn't care enough about Groups to bring it up to the standard, then their penalty has to be reduced usage. In fact, Rurpy, you are actually encouraging the faulty system, because you're providing ad impressions and usage stats every time you read or write via GG. When less-buggy systems see more use than more-buggy systems, big companies have an incentive to fix bugs. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
