My thoughts, to be blunt about it is if I wanted to use gmail I would and do not need to read about its virtues here. If this list would go to gmail I will not go with it. I think we have a great group here and as the old saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it. I personally hope this thread goes away and the sooner the better. Auto delete. Front and center!
