RIGHT ON!!! I love this statement!

For the record, I send my emails to others and to mailing lists through
Tor Proxy, to hide my IP from google, unless I know that the other end
is using an email that is not connected with gmail server (by the way,
the same applies to at&t, msn, yahoo, cox and the rest of email servers
of the biggest internet providers of us and uk, but I do it especially
because of google).
