Poo poo. The difference between a potential blacknet and Gmail is that there's little doubt that google will cough up the true names of objectionable posters, if and when anyone looking even remotely authoritative/governmental comes pounding on their doors.

Careful use of Google (as you should carefully use any public network resource), which always uses multiple proxys, one-way addresses, etc, could make for a verry effective manipulator (as well as simple user) of such a system as Gmail. //Alif -- "One of the nice things about ignorance is that it is curable.
