Comments on: @GMail.com is the new @AOL.com http://www.johnon.com/287/gmail-aol.html I think there's an opinion on that subject lying around here somewhere....

I also have about 10 personal email addresses and over 65 domains with email addresses. I agree with your thoughts on this matter but for some it doesn't really matter. If in doubt re:privacy I just send it via another account. Everyone is different, if your new and needed the work/rep, then get a decent email address. I admit to using gmail.

I think the point is that "free email address = trouble" in your inbox. However, the one thing you glossed over is that many people frustrated with spam have jumped on the Gmail and Yahoo Mail bandwagon. You really can't fault people that are just trying to get away from the damn spam as that doesn't make them lazy or unprofessional, that makes them taking proactive steps to be productive in a spam-ridden environment where nobody seems interested in stopping the problem at the source, and yes, it can be stopped.
