Original poster here; just wanting to set the record straight. Something in the USENET newsgroup thread which originally caused me to begin this thread made me wonder. I repulled headers for the entire thread. I apologize to Scott and all the macosx.com community. The reference to which I referred was actually to gmail and not to macosx.com at all. I am so glad and happy to have cause to apologize.

All this for ten bucks. Wow! I have passed this site along to the few that care.

You know, I almost mentioned the statement sounded like the typical "attack" on Google's GMAIL service, but you just never know these days. Thanks for the follow-up, I will sleep well tonight knowing my secret is still hidden.

To be fair, the whole point of Google's GMail is that you get ads with your email. That's how they can afford to give everyone 1 GB. So people signing up for GMail should know what they're getting themselves into. In other words: you're asking for it. LOL.

By the way, if you read my post up there about email harvesting bots, that still holds true though, no matter how good your service provider may be.

Of course... it's very easy to mistake macosx.com with gmail....

But seriously, I'm just glad to know that Scott and co aren't scanning people's emails. Definitely worth the 10 bucks.
