I don't get it...

If you don't like it, don't use it.

Why waste your breath bitching about something, when there are tons of other options for email?!?

Sheesh.

Most e-mail messages opened on Gmail won't even contain ads, according to Google.

...But if the email contains the word "penis", be prepared to use most of that gigabyte.

No thanks.... I don't want any mail from Gmail people. I don't want ads for Motrin if my honey asks if I have a headache!

Rosing said there will be an information firewall separating Google's search engine from Gmail.

"We don't use the data collected on one service," he said, "to enhance another."

Yet.

A lot of these whiners seem to believe that one size fits all, instead of realizing that there are many different reasons why people use email, and that many people will have more than one email account, using different accounts for different purposes. They also fail to realize that (unless the gmail terms and conditions prohibit it) the availability of this new service will give many more people an incentive to start using PGP or similar encryption on their emails. I am planning to sign up for an account as soon as they are generally available.
