Update: Note corrected address! I set one up, courtesy of a colleague who had a few to give out. Feel free to write me at bluehighways at gmail.com (first problem: I couldn’t use my preferred username, kgs, because usernames need to be at least six characters long).
One part of the user “agreement” gave me pause: “Account Inactivity. After a period of inactivity, Google reserves the right to disable or terminate a user’s account. If an account has been deactivated for inactivity, the email address associated with that account may be given to another user without notice to you or such other party.”
Maybe it’s just as well I didn’t use “kgs.”
