I refuse gmail as an option for myself or a recommendation for friends just because of the bad taste it brings up from the spammers. As one of the moderators, I admit I do miss what I originally came there for, helping people learn and solve the programming/database side of things. Seems mostly anymore it is people "hey I want something that {some_popular_site} does, where can I get it?". (not just TWF, other programming forums as well...) The ones who do have the knowledge and ability at least half of them are stubborn in their ways and end up turning real discussions off track into a battle over "why my way is the way you should do it". But I still enjoy visiting daily. I thank you guys for keeping ti alive and am glad to help where I can. No mention that 95% of the spam accounts seem to also have gmail accounts?
