LOL, probably not, no. It serves a specific purpose.

Politics were not ever discussed to this point. I am neither a communist
nor a liberal from a political standpoint, but that would be none of your
business.

I should have been clearer because you seem to have misunderstood. TBird is
the best for me. It is not, "good enough", it is better for me than Gmail,
and anything else I've tried. It is the best for me. If it is not the best
for you, then I am glad you found a better option, please do not impose
your opinion on me.

Okay, first you make an insane statement like Gmail is the best. Not in
your opinion, but just a flat statement. If you would know what is best for
everyone else, then that my communist Bottoms is communism. "Just don't
think, I know what's best for everyone". Not your words, but most certainly
your message here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Then you make a completely false statement like "As you know, mail servers
host the mail - all are webmail". And when called on it, you deflect your
inaccurate statement with, 'never mind what I said, my point is still
valid'. Again, not your words, but your message is clear.

Look, I get that people make inaccurate statements sometimes. We get
involved in these discussions and get derailed because of details that have
no bearing on the discussion at hand, Kinda like where this discussion has
gone. You are absolutely correct in your assertion that Gmail is best for
you. It is not the best email client for me. At least not at this point. So
please do not cast your assertions on me, you have no right!

Niether do I. I also do not believe in one size fits all, or universal fit.

Better for an individual moves the 'line' one way or the other. The 'line'
is defined by the requirements of the user, not by the requirements you
choose to evaluate by.

Okay, so then it's your opinion that Gmail is the best?

> These opinions help enrich the field of choice...why do you offer yours?
Same reason.

I would respectfully ask that if you are offering opinion, please state it
as such. Otherwise you are attempting to impose what can only be opinion on
others, and in my opinion that is just bad form. Either way, do as you
choose, I won't waste more any time on this.
