Google is getting $7M *for the transition* of 30k users from GroupWise, and another $17M for 5 years of service. LA gets support and service guarantees, according to the available journalism product on this story. Users of Gmail or any other free mail service get nothing very valuable. The valuable parts of a mail service are the ones that require thinking skilled humans to do. Freemail users should note that they have no standing to expect that their service will work to any particular standard, will be understandable, will ever meet any particular need, or even that it will not vanish at any moment.

]]> Comment on Is Having Cyber Sex Cheating if You are Married? by Katy http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/is-having-cybersex-cheating-if-you-are-married/#comment-1148705 Katy Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:15:24 +0000 http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/is-having-cybersex-cheating-if-you-are-married#comment-1148705 When you enter into a marriage, it is you and another person promising to stay faithful and be with just you for the rest of your life. The breakdown of marriage is the reason behind so many troubled children today, since sex is regarded as just a physical deed to feel good. Cyber sex is no different. As a victim of the cybering spouse, I can vouch that it makes the other person feel worthless, violated, and it turns into an emotional rollercoaster. If you are not OK being in a monogamous, respectful, trusting relationship, then why would you get married? There is a major difference between porn and cybersex...porn is just watched and has no attachment. When cybering you control the situation to go where you want it to go, which is personal. With the breakdown of marriage comes the breakdown of society. When you enter into a marriage, it is you and another person promising to stay faithful and be with just you for the rest of your life.

Well I told the moderator there that no other group has a problem with my screen name and no one else has ever asked me to change it. I want all my emails to go to this one screen name and I don't want to have multiple names for my Freecycle email. A witch named Jo sent me this when I was questioning why NO OTHER Moderator has EVER asked me to change my screen name but HER and this is the end result. BEWARE of the FT MYERS FLA group! "Yes, please do not email me again either. It's too exhaustive to have a battle of wits with someone that is so discernibly unarmed. Jo Co-moderator, Ft. Myers Freecycle (nice lady huh?)
