I really like Google. I like what they do. But lately, their security
team is a joke. I had a problem with their POP Gmail service and the
advise I got from their Gmail team was to turn off my CA EZ antivirus and
my ZApro firewall and to try again and see if the problem repeats
itself. For a moment I thought it was an April 1st joke.
When playing with Gmail or Ggroups - try to find a link to report abuse or
a security problem (yes - one exists - but not one that is easy to find
from Gmail or Ggroups).
I attribute it to size - when one gets big enough - one truly believes that
gravity is affected by your company. Unless Google shapes up, they will
quickly find out what happens to large, cumbersome, and clueless companies.
