I get more email etc than I want as is thanks and use mailwasher to filter and bounce those that I don't want. I'm not sure I could handle any more.

Re: Google Street View (give us a wave!)

Much like albatross710 i also use it in a very boring way for work. It saves me lots of time and money being able to see what i would normally have to drive and look at. Now i just pull up the address and whammo! i can see what i need to. Having said that in our area it was done on a Friday about 12 lunchtime and im thinking around December. Its amzing what powers of deduction can do...

I meant more along the lines of personal mailing lists from people like lawyers, pilots, comedians, hackers etc.

I have been cautious as to who gets my primary email address and I am lucky to be spam free for many years now. If I want to sign up for something dodgy then I create a g-mail account like aristotle1453, use it and forget about it after a few days....

My gmail account gets more spam than any other account I have, and I have never given anyone that address (aside from referring a couple of people when it was in that long Beta mode)

You know, all but 2 of my email addresses get filtered through Gmail, and i dont get one ounce fo spam in my proper inbox. I do spend about half my time offline ( much the same as you guys do i guess) so i cant use Gmail proper and I wouldn't like it anyway as it doesnt sned it from my email address it sends it from thegurio@thegurio.com.au on behalf of XXXXX@gmail.com (not my actual address!)

My spam folders are chockers but not my inbox which is nice.
