[extropy-chat] a futurist prediction

[Emlyn]

FWIW, I haven't been overly bugged by all this twentycen partisan
political crapola, because I'm using gmail. It's inherently threaded,
so the tech threads have a 2 or 3 next to them (number of posts) while
the political ones have numbers that are 50+ sometimes, but the
threading keeps it contained; I see them as equal weighted, rather
than being swamped by the political stuff.

And I get practically no junk mail, and it's extremely reliable, and
the ads are ignorable or actually relevant (the same as with a google
search, small print on the right side of the screen), and the
interface is excellent, and the capacity now grows continuously
(pushing 2.5gb last time I looked), and it's free. If anyone wants an
invite, just ask :-)
