OT - RE: [Coco] Re: [Color Computer] Gmail or Google Mail - YOU SHOULD AVOID - BE WARNED

[Jim Cox]

Neil:

Where did you originally get the warning email from?  Was 
it from someone on Yahoo? :)

I read that Yahoo is now upping their free eamil to 1G 
just like GMail, and had recently begun a heavy push to 
compete with Google/GMail/G-etc  I wonder if it's just 
some over zealous Yahoo marketting.

Just so you know, I think both Google, Yahoo, and MSN, are 
data mining, as well as quite a few other companies like 
Amazon.  My advice for using free email like GMail or 
Yahoo, is to straight out lie about your age, place of 
residence, and so on.

Hmmm, I forsee a sudden mass migration to Antartica :)
