<OT> yet more Gmail invites

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I love gmail for the use I put it to -- which is mailing lists only.
This builds a personal archive of the lists that I deem most likely to help,
and I can do searches on it as required.

I don't direct any personal mail there at all, because I'm a bit leery
of Google's privacy policies.

Oh, and on the original topic, I also have 50 invites, and nobody to send
them to.
