I guess I really don't see the problem. Yes, personal things get discussed in email, but still. I think where you are coming from, is that (to use a purely hypothetical situation) if you write to your sister saying that your mom is starting to lose it and you may need to look for a home that serves Alzheimer's patients, and your sister uses gmail, she may see ads for such a home on the margins of her email. I still don't see this as a bad thing. She can click them or not. Whereas on the few occasions where I have watched TV recently I have not had any choice about watching political attack ads or ads for erectile disfunction, short of turning off the television.
