   So for the past six months or so google has decided to infesting their

   gmail webmail with tracking redirectors on all things that look like
   links.

   To be expected, and fuck em straight to hell.

   But who else find it hilarious they chose 'usg' as the tracking

   parameter name ;)

   I'm surprised they didn't start doing this long ago. Lots of juicy data
   to mine there.

   I'm guessing you can get around this by using IMAP or POP3 to read your
   email. I wonder what their monetization plan is for customers who read
   their mail with an email client?
