<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>So far the interface looks pretty ghetto, but I figure having a permanent email that doesn't depend on your ISP doesn't hurt. I know there's yahoo/hotmail/etc but there's only a zillion people on those already so I'd have to be Phantron123123 to get a name there. Anyway, my email is phantron@gmail.com, though I think I'll be using my regular email for a while. I don't really see any advantage to use it over say Outlook at this point and seems like a webmail with an ad service that's slightly smarter than normal stuff (which isn't saying much). But who knows.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>sure you can, I've had Gmail for less than a week and it's already filtered out about 10/110 spam email. I just used common words that I found in my spam and most of it is caught</div>
