    Now that Google's shit-flood is gone, it's actually usable again. I left
    during the flood but came back recently. Now if only they and Spamhaus
    would get off email it could be usable again, too. If I could, would I
    reset the internet to the time before Google? Why yes, yes I would.

    My problem with e-mail is a company called ProofPoint. Too many of the companies I try to communicate with seem to be using this outfit to
    screen their mail, and it will not accept mail from me.

    Why not? Even Google is not that picky.
