Hey thanks for the reply ![:)]( "Smile")
Oops sorry for spilling the beans with the questions. I totally didn't even think about it. I hope it didn't actually cause any harm.
Interesting story about the google integration. Getting away from them is good, but so very very hard. I use Android...OMFG trying to cut them out is hard...You have to provide alternate apis, and even then you really only clean the pipe but still sip from the well. Not sure iOS is any better though. Some things better, some just as bad. *shrugs*
Related to your point about e-mail, yeah they are hard to avoid. I do use gmail, but am actively working to activate a few domains that I have had for a number of years and use them for e-mail using a vps. Just working out what specific setup I want. I havent run my own server for a number of years and I need to refresh my understanding of postfix/sendmail, and will i use squirrelmail or redmail or plain imap etc etc etc
Fonts - blargh lol. I actively block fonts.googleapis (among others fing hate those guys) Causes lag sometimes but I don't really see the point. I only have one site where my blocking of fonts seems to make a difference. And even then it doesn't affect me, just some sector headings etc that show pretty shapes instead of text lol.
Anyway thanks again for the polite Hello and I am super sorry if my venting actually caused you frustration lol.
