[SATLUG] (OT) Privacy issues with Gmail?

[john shanks]

some people just like to keep watch of companies that get too
powerful.  good, but sometimes they start ranting.  personally, if i
cared whether or not someone was going to be reading my email, i'd
find a different service or send all my messages encrypted.

while the gmail ads aren't perfect, they are much, much more useful
than any other group of ads I have seen.  I can't think of anytime
I've clicked on yahoo's ads.

finally, for now at least, gmail treats me with some respect.  I use a
well designed client that gives me what I want, simply and reliably. 
I can't remember any time yahoo or mail.com treated me as anything
more than someone who should upgrade.
