Its a good compromise i think. OTherwise to update a field to null it would need a button or right clicking and selected a null option. I would expect the amount of people who actually want to enter a 'null' string is minimal...

> How long are my files kept?

Gmail auto preloads (via their servers) all images in emails. You can turn it off though.

>"Leakers shouldn’t use their work computers and should use public wifi, “like a Starbucks or at a hotel or anywhere where the Internet is open for public use.”"
