[Leica] OT: Web site host

[Sonny Carter]

I use gmail because it is better at scrubbing spam than my provider can be.   If you do use your own domain email, you can send and receive it through gmail.

Also, I need to decide if I should revert to my gmail address (which I now just use for lists), or pick up a new address tied to my domain name. One thing I do *not* want to do is host my own site or email on a computer at home, or get into the security business. Nor do I want every email I write to turn into targeted ads--Google claims they don't do that, but I am not sure I believe them.
