Gmail - Look lefore you beap

Gmail
- 1 GB of mails with Google Search features.
- Privacy concerns.
- Yahoo's firefighting move to shift to (not 10)...But 100 megs today
- Hotmail's indifference to whatever is happening
- Gmail Releveant advertising which email users will appreciate (??).

Every angle covered and the only 'real' concern seems privacy (which I think outweighs its features).If you are that paranoid about privacy you mite just stop mailing.In a few years, Your mailbox is going to climb the rankings in 'My Most Priced List'.

I didnt find answers to these in their FAQ ,
- What happens if I die , Will somebody inherit my 1 GB treasure ?
- "Anything can be hacked if its online!" (If Amol hacked my account, I'll start counting my days. Reasons later.)
- Will Google ever delete the mails I want them to delete or will they just stop showing them to me?

On a lighter note,
If US of A is on war with India and they just want to tamper with mails from/to India.(After the Iraqi prisoners episode ,dont be surprised...they can go to any level...just for kicks).Where do I sue them ?

I have heard you can say "I sue" when asked "What do you do for a living? " in the US.Is this true? (bit out of context?)

Well , I'll take back my words about 'the lighter note'...Does anyone have a article on 'Implications on Internet due to War' Rite now, I dream of Gmail. My doubts arose cos I just heard of 'Look lefore you beap'

P.S. - About Google, It just got the EQ award in Selectica(Employee of the Quarter).
