Who told?? <grins insanely> Besides being crazy, I get iRaTe at times with poor ISP service, misquoted fees and various sundry issues that may cause me to switch. No matter to me, as I have pop service from Gmail and my email address has yet to change. AND RedHat used Google in-house, from the day of Google's inception. We were urged to use their search services back in 1999-2000. This was back when Matthew was just coming on board, IPO, etc. So, Google has a very long close relationship with RedHat. If guilt through association has context here, so does Fedora. Without going crazy here, I fail to see just how maintaining a relationship with Gmail, which has never failed me, equates to "hiding". I use what works for me and it's never cost me one dime. :| Ric -- ---------------------------------------------------- My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
