Makes the point I was making really, there's that industry thing again.

I give less than a rat's ass what you use. But how anyone can get any significant use out of the mass disorganization that is Gmail completely escapes me.

That you say it's some sort of tech industry favorite (while I interact via email with virtually no one who uses it) doesn't surprise me in the least. A big part of my work life the past couple of years has been serving as the "translator" between our main client & their tech sub-contractors, since it's rarely a good idea for the two to be in the same room, the whole Mars vs Venus thing. Luckily I speak just enough of both languages to translate & both sides get considerably less frustrated with me than they do with each other. It may very well be the updated version of how sales & creatives were often kept as far apart as possible in both broadcasting & agency environments.
