ThatAdamGuy,

Here's what I don't like...

Writing you an email, and having no idea what will be hyperlinked and to whom by the time it hits your inbox.

In the months ahead, after yahoo and msn follow suit, and after the likes of gator start offering free email, what makes you think that you'll be able to know the difference between hyperlinks I sent you and hyperlinks that were inserted into my email without my permission?

What assurances are there that an "ad" won't look like it's me sending you a link? That might not be how it looks now, but how do we know it won't look like that later?

If I've ever seen a slippery slope that people are missing, this has to be it. Even assurances that my fears are unfounded or committments that it won't turn out that way would be unconvincing to me.
