I have a gMail address but almost no one has it, and I set it       up that anything that comes to me through it is forwarded to another       eMail account I have so very little from me ends up there. I'd get       nothing if I hadn't set up a few commercial places with my gMail       address before I knew any better. But not much information that       goes through there would be of any use.. Reminders that a bill is       coming due or a thankyou that it's been paid, so they know I pay       some common bills but no details are given out in those..              I also don't use Google to search for things online.              The fact that I get Zero spam is probably a good indicator that       what I'm doing is working fairly well.              That said, virtually all eMail providers check eMails for known       content often used by Spammers. I get the odd eMail dumped in a       Spam folder, one or two a month, with a notice that it's there in       case I know what it is and want to see it.. And I don't remember       the last time something that landed there was actually Spam, it       just used language/terms that looked suspect..              ---        * SLMR Rob * Learn from your parent's mistakes...
