   I wonder if the novelty effect is starting to wear off?  When GMail first 
came out there were loud clamors for invitations on quite a few mailing lists 
I'm on.  The invitation scheme created a shortage and fed into the buzz about 
GMail.  Now that it's been out there a while, the novelty is wearing off.  If 
this is true, I guess we'll see open signup sometime in the near future.

   As for me, the privacy issues <http://www.epic.org/privacy/gmail/faq.html> 
of GMail are just too great.  While one can always fall back on the "all the 
Internet is monitored", I don't want to put another nail into privacy's 
coffin merely for a gig of webmail disk space.

 Regards,
