[At-Large] New gTLDs and e-mail

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Michele and all,

  I am fairly sure that Bret has heard of Google.  An yes, they
are not RFC compliant i.e. Gmail and Googlemail.  Of course
they don't seem to really care that they are not.  But more and more
they are finding it difficult to find loyal customers for their Email
product line, not to mention their search engine.  Maybe someday
Vint Cerf will have a "Religious" experiance, and "Evangelize" to
the rest of Google's managment, of which he is a part of, and they
will become good Internet citizens.

  However I remain amazed that Bret, a good fellow, seems to be
rather uninformed or lacking what is relitively common knowledge...
