Agreeing totally - competition good, monopoly bad.
I prefer gmail over hotmail for ease of use and speed and geekness
appeal, not for G having the more attractive staffers or being more
cuddly.

Yes. I am not really sure if they can afford Pythoneers right now
competing with G, A and M, but it's only fair to provide the
