You should pay attention, or I should. I was talking about makeing ones 
own web page available to the world. That means /your/ machine, even if 
it in a 3 br National built house in small village WV, USA, needs a 
fixed address, or pays a heck of a lot more money to a nameserver who 
can dynamically update in a reasonable time frame, your name vs address 
in the root dns servers of the whole planet. 

As for gmail, any class, I gave up on that several years ago. google is 
just too damned much of a dictator, hating mailing lists for instance, 
or dropping your access on the floor for 40 hours a week, 3 hours at a 
time, or changing the access protocol about the time you get the last 
one running smoothly if you subtract the huge lack of thread continuity 
to your incoming email.

To me, gmail is a kettle of fish that like most fish, should have been 
tilled into the garden after 3 days in the fridge.

Email, and web mail, are 2 separate views of the same thing, but are 
helpfully cross converted because gmail thinks multiplying the size of 
the email by 10x worth of html markup some how makes it more palatable 
to Joe and Jane Six-pack. Gag...

So we will have to agree to disagree.
