Using an iPad - was krankshaft format solution found

I take your point. I don't think anyone is 100% happy with Google's policy
of hoarding data, but all unencrypted email is rather public. I don't know
the the techicalities of it but I belive that all emails end up being copied
numerous times onto servers around the world. "Do no evil" is an empthy
phrase.

I am not too worried about advertising-- I simply ignore it, but obviously
others don't!

Ironically Google's Schmidt expressed concern about Facebook and suggested
that in future people may have to change online identities to protect
themselves (I am paraphrasing him).
