> If you are pretty happy with fastmail, why switch?

I do not really care about my personal case, here. But I try to maintain a (some say exaggerated) consistency in "paying with my wallet" according to my principles. Since the Australian government provisions seem an unacceptable betrayal to its citizens, the only way that I can make some pressure in favor of them is by visibly boycotting Australian tech companies. If I were an Australian citizen concerned with the AABill I would certainly appreciate this gesture. My fastmail account is just a 80 EUR/year epsilon amount which will not affect the economy in the least. But it is symbolic gesture in the right direction.

I am still undecided on dropping my fastmail account. But if I do I'll try to make as much noise as possible regarding the reasons.
