Look! Black Helicopters! (Score 1)

I have GMail accounts and I was sent the invitation through Hotmail. Thanks for reminding me though, I do need to check the ground straps on my copper cage at home and change the foil on my helmet. Shiny side out ya'll! GMail invitations are likely seen as spam because of the headers... sent as "from" one address but the sender is another. There's lots of email that does this. More likely is the "press" wasn't smart enough to look in that other folder. It's FUD alright and Yahoo! couldn't have paid for better press coverage. If you care about your email that much, don't use free email providers like Hotmail or Yahoo!. Use your ISP (as long as it's not AOHell), run your own server or pay to have one run for you. Then only you will decide how to implement spam protection. Baaaa! Baaaa!
