<DIV></DIV>You bring up a good point, however that doesn't fix the perception
that I've read about. I agree with you, but there are people that think
that since Google is scanning e-mail, that itself is an invasion of privacy
because they are "looking" at your e-mail. For some people, it boils
down to do you trust Google when you KNOW they're scanning e-mail, or do you
trust your ISP when you *think* they aren't? Of course, it depends on
the ISP. I'm sure my ISP isn't reading my e-mail, right Dave? :)
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Judging by the "Going Google" topic, I'd say there are people who don't
trust Google, even in our educated group, so they will stay as far away from
GMail as they would from Hotmail.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Note, I do use GMail; 90% of my e-mail goes through GMail, or Google for
my domain. But I do recognize that there are those who would rather die
than trust "those bastards at Google" just because Google scans e-mails.
Again, that's their perception, even though as you point out, there's
probably layers of security keeping someone from personally reading your
e-mail. At least, e-mail stored on their servers. As the e-mail
flows across the internet, that is another issue.<BR>
