I don't see how the article applies here, as we're not discussing a matter of significance. Were we discussing something that affected people's lives, it'd be appropriate. But I was being deliberately irreverent towards the notion that one should take care to choose the 'right' email provider. After all, its a fucking email provider. It sends and receives email. That's it. To talk about it as if it is something to take seriously is goofy.

Peace.

I wasn't advocating choosing the "right" provider (though you should certainly try to pick a good one, for your own sake!).

I have simply found that people's technical competence generally (GENERALLY) corresponds to what domain they are using. It's an observation, not a fashion trend.
