Before anyone does such a moronic thing, please note that all people subscribed here, or reading the archives, now and for the future have access to the accounts from those links publicly posted. The privacy concerns noted by some are actually unique to gmail, and are real (for example, anyone accepting one of those is then known to the original poster). In addition, you will be joining the crowd of people that have demonstrated a genuine lack of regard for the charter of nanog, or its core audience. I think you are confused. So someone who invited you to Gmail now knows you have a Gmail account. BFD. This creates exactly _zero_ privacy concerns. (Someone knowing your Gmail account is not a privacy concern as you knew going in they would know your account.) Your privacy concerns are either nonexistent, or they apply to any non-personally-run mail server. (And probably many personally run mail servers.) I repeat, if you have issues with Gmail, block Gamil on your own mail server and quit bothering the rest of us. -- TTFN, patrick
