They should quote that on the GMail sign up page.

I am frustrated by Google’s lack of support as anyone else, but it is completely unreasonable to expect support for a free product, regardless of how they might otherwise profit off you.

I'm not frustrated because I don't rely any Google services.

I was serious, though. People would be less frustrated if they had that helpful reminder on sign up.

Obfuscating that GMail isn't a real product is just another one of their sleazy business tactics, I guess.
