LOL, okay, fine, I asked for it ;).

And in the meantime... I really wish Google had done a better, much more proactive job of PR. Did they give test accounts to prominent journalists? Did they fly out to visit with WSJ's influential Walt Mossberg and have him play with the service? Did they have key CEOs (Jeff Bezos, Carly Fiorina, etc.) take Gmail for a whirl? Clearly not. :(

Right now, I think so much of the paranoia, fear, and concern is stemming from uncertainty and to a great extent a lack of awareness of how the service works. And that's not surprising!

Google has really dropped the PR ball on this one :¦

Er... now you can call me a bi-polar Google patsy? :D
