Google Does Evil (or at least stupid)
I have a gmail account (Google Mail) that I don’t use because I don’t care for the email address I chose and I’m not happy with the available choices. Anyway, periodically, I log in just to mess around with it and see if I should be using this robust on-line mail system.
As this has now gone live, there is a simple “ad link” at the top of the mailbox. When I clicked on the spam folder to see if I had gotten any spam with this private address, and what did Google serve up to me: a recipe for Spam Primavera.
