OT: Whats wrong with gmail?

> just because some people use gmail for public mailing lists doesn't mean those same accounts and services are used for their private email.

that's an explanation for part of them.

but how about seeing an advert in city of small ISP offering it's 
services, and giving their contact info with both WWW page and e-mail on 
wp.pl (polish service, somewhat like yahoo etc..).

it is...funny. but it is very common.

we call this in Poland "shoemaker walking barefoot"

that's true. i am using gmail too. i created at least 50 account in "use 
once and forget" mode - to register somewhere or ask a question being 
anonymous etc.
