Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: gmail

[Tom Hammer (thammer302]

> Hi,

1) I don't know how what essentially is an ad has been posted on this  
wonderful listserv.

2) I have read a journalist's horror story of his having all his email  
on gmail, and someone tried to access it fraudulently or something, so  
his account was blocked.  He couldn't get a human on the phone, and it  
took him a month to get access back to his own archived email.
