<P>Ginger and all,</P>
<P> </P>
<P> With respect I disagree. Boycott is at least one way of sending a stern message. Our INEGroup</P>
<P>members have been and are still boycotting Google Search and other Google service products</P>
<P>as they routinely violate individuals privacy and therefore threaten their security in the process.</P>
<P>And until or unless Google decides to change it's TOS'es in an user/consumer friendly</P>
<P>manner which we have in detail outlined, that Boycott will remain in effect. As such we</P>
<P>have estimated that the cost to Google is approx. $1.35B/year and will increase as time</P>
<P>passes. Hitting errant actors in the pocketbook or purse eventually has a positive impact</P>
<P>in the direction of getting things changed with commercial and non-commercial bad actors.<BR><BR><BR></P>
