    I always thought that the GBI was a state law enforcement organization (somewhat) modeled after the federal FBI, but not the FBI. See GBI[^]

    Oops. Thanks for the correction (shame on me for not looking it up). I'll go fix my posting; need to be certain I keep my Google conspiracy information as accurate as possible ... or something. :->

      Google is failing the Microsoft litmus test[^] Interesting. I'd like to state that I have maintained, through thick and thin, through all the GMail invites, GTalk invites, Gblah stuff, and that annoyingly easy and convenient facade of an interface, that Google is Evil. So there. (but hey, it's not like they are any more evil than anyone else. Just, to me anyway, scarier Evil than the blanc mange, kinda tired Evil we have nowadays)

      Microsoft is evil. Google is evil. 99.99% of everything is evil. Lime-green jello is not evil.

        Sounds like the rant of someone who thought about buying in at $85 a share but decided against it. ;P

            Lime-green jello with shredded cabbage and carrots mixed into it* is not evil. * One of my mother's 'salad' ideas when I was a kid. Blech!

                Mine too. Explain to me why anyone - anywhere - ever - in the history of the world thought that was a good idea. Ewww. Yet seemingly it's a favorite to bring to potlucks. Oh and don't forget to mix in plenty of whipped cream. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: X|

                  The fact that Gmail is storing all my emails, forever, even after I close the account isn't very comforting in my mind. Luckily for me, I don't do much on my gmail email in privacy terms.

                    before closing the account can't you just do delete all and permanently empty trash to obliterate them eternally?

                      Doesn't that just set the deleted flag on all the items, so you can't read them any more? :suss:
