I think you misunderstood. kstrauser and I were using gmail as an analogy. You’re right about Google owning gmail. That was my point - you don’t really own anything. If they lock you out, you’re screwed.

I agree that the fact anyone can make their own server is great and I’m glad the AT protocol supports that.
