The only connection evident to me is that (along with Cheney Shill)
the original questioner was using Gmail.

Mr/Ms Shill, there is a grey area between being a provocative gadfly
and mere trolldom.  That was on the far side of grey into trolling.  I
am all for encouraging gadflys on this list; I am also all for
removing trolls.  You generally behave yourself better than that.  If
you stop behaving yourself, you will probably find yourself moderated
or dropped from the list, and I will shed no tears.

Disclaimer: I am also a happy customer of Gmail's free service,
despite having had my own domains for 15+ years.
