Ok. I admit Googlestuff can be seductive. I use Google search because it works great and I have nothing to hide, I'm not searching for child porn or bomb building instructions. I use Google Voice for business calls because it lets me hide my real phone number and I don't care if they know who I call for business. But I would never ever trust Google Docs, Gmail, GV, etc. to keep private stuff private, safe and secure. Google is not truly 'free'. And for the most part, I'm not willing to pay Google's price.
