Regardless it will make them be viewed much less. I think they're just "taking eggs for their money". They know it's a lot to ask from people to switch away from gmail. They love their arsefuckings.
They might not have thought about the "big ridiculously high, then concede to something high"-tactic. "Please, people, stop using gmail". Everyone: "Noo! We love Gmail!". "Then at least send an e-mail back to fix gmail". Everyone: "That sounds reasonable." instead of "please fix gmail". Everyone "naah too much effort".
This. Also, it wouldn't cost them a dime to add a sentence or two explaining why centralisation is the problem and how using other e-mail providers can help.

Sure, lets tell them to move their e-mail from Gmail....to where? To another big mail provider (whats the point then?). Lavabit, Silent Circle, Hushmail, Tormail? Nope. Self host their own e-mail? Hah. Most people don't have the resources and/or the ability to do something like that. There is also the matter of trust, why should I trust $MAILHOST over Google? What is the solution then? I hope I got my point across. -- staticsafe O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please don't top post. Please don't CC! I'm subscribed to whatever list I just posted on.
