IMO there are a few other good things about it.

One, it's run by Google, who seems to be the company with the greatest understanding of the net and the forces that make it work. They're less likely to do something stupid to irritate and annoy you.

Two, I've seen not one spam message in six weeks of operation.

I'm using mine for commercial contact, and it's doing very well for that.

Hmm ... spammers got a hold of my gmail addy about a week ago. I do not, however, get nearly as many spam messages as I did to my Yahoo account when that first got raided. And google's spam filter is excellent, at least this far into it.

Anyone need invites? I got six ... bidding is now open for cash/sexual favors ...

Ha. I just watched Y Tu Mama Tambian, and I love how the woman makes fun of one of the kids for yelling "mamacita" or whatever when he blows it.

And trust me, I myself will be scrambling to the cellar with a big flashing breaking news alert the next time I get laid ...

PM me your emaily.

No, but maybe you are retarded?

I've been spending ages trying to scores one of those invites. Did it ever cross your mind that I might also have PMed Jinx as well as posted?

Ooooh...there's a thought.

Let's see...am I retarded....hmmmm...difficult question. I'm graduating with a Master of Science degree this December...and I have a 4.0 GPA in my program. No...I guess I'm not retarded.

Do you know what it means to be retarded? Maybe you should ask someone with a real disability. People say stuff like that all the time, but it's not a laughing matter.

I'm not excessively PC! I guess it comes from working with the disabled. The word retarded is just sad.
