I'm not sure where the "move the mailing list" concept came in. I've recently started using a gmail account for another of my lists and it's very nice for a web based interface. I still prefer my local client, but given the option of most webmail choices vs. gmail, there's no contest. As to what they do with your info, that's a totally separate issue entirely, and if you don't like their T&C by all means, don't sign up. Just don't complain because someone else does. I have a lot more issue with folks who use free accounts for mailing lists that exceed their capacity more days than not and wind up bouncing things to everyone on the list. </soapbox> :) later...
