Uh, honey,
I think you meant ULOSG (instead of BRLUG), kind of a far piece to go for a get-together - not that BRLUG members wouldn't be welcome, just let us know you're coming so I could throw a little extra on the grill.

I think you are going to LOVE Lafayette. We all have our episodes of frustration, but overall UL is just down right nice. Dorm or Apt? Need anything for either? Please let me know if I can assist you in any way. (I'm going to sweet talk to James about a BBQ with BRLUG right before school starts) I hope to be out of there in another semester or so, but I am always available to all of you on campus or attending UL. Oh, just found out someone is trying to start a Rocket Society on campus. Got his number...umm for business purposes, if anyone is interested in helping out with that. Need to find funding.

Sure it is. GMail is indexing into a database keywords from everyone's emails, then they're encouraging users not to worry about deleting old emails since they now have a gig of storage space. None of the other services are offering searches this powerful, and i doubt that any of them even would have the hardware and technology to be able to do it as well as Google does. On its own, that kind of service would seem like a nice thing to have for an email user, yes. But read this excerpt from http://gmail-is-too-creepy.com: "Google uses the term "governmental request" three times on their terms-of-use page and once on their privacy page. Google's language means that all Gmail account holders have consented to allow Google to show any and all email in their Gmail accounts to any official from any government whatsoever, even when the request is informal or extralegal, at Google's sole discretion." Sure, any of the other providers would probably turn over your email or let the FBI hook up a carnivore box to their servers if they got a subpoena. But what this looks like is a blanket go-ahead from google to allow the feds to search their entire database for anything they want. Just seems a little too likely to the conspiracy theorists that maybe Google isn't really totally privately-run..
