You're afraid of the privacy issues, I take it?

I can send you an invite if you would like.


How could Gmail be any more of a privacy concern than Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. are? They could all scan your emails and get private information...

Would I like an account???!!! Is this a trick question?

RE: privacy, I agree, but many hold that gmail is a privacy issue b/c tyhey advertise...my beleif is that email is inherently non-private, no matter what, so, hey, get the most functional account...

Should I send the invitation to the email in your profile?

Thats why I only use them for the messenger services
Not as stupid as I look... honest

If you really want, yeah, send me an invite, that way I can actually see it for myself rather than be getting it from 3rd party sources

Oh and if you are getting invites every other day, then only one thing I can suggest
www.ebay.com (start saving up for SEV )

Well, I don't want to do eBay, because I feel slightly obligated to invite people I know. Somehow selling it just seems wrong.

PS: And for now, I'm out of invites... if the pattern continues, I'll have six more by Thursday.

I would like to have one, please. You can put the invitation via private message or send it to mail in my profile. Thank you
