I saw this post about Gmail and thought I would share it. I have no opinion one way or the other.

Another case of the tin foil hat brigade, methinks.

Well...when the intelligent ad response above your spam box is [yuk]"spam and broccoli bake"[/yuk], and they don't have any real details anyway (or shouldn't have Shocked

).
Credibility just flies out of the window.

and in another

Quote:

Creamy Spam Broccoli Casserole - Makes 8 servings

The guy who runs that website has been around for a long time. He also runs Google Watch, and is a bit of a netkook. Basically, he has a longstanding grudge against Google because his website got a lower page rank than he believed he deserved.
