I'm sorry to hear gmail is down, but really what can you expect for free?
When the service was down for your email which your life depends on, where you able to reach someone to get support-- I bet that answer was a sad "no...". Oh yea, I forgot, you could go read the community forums...
Company's like TVC.Net, Godadd y and others offer email for a buck a month and you can bet had service been down with them you'd be able to at least call someone-- or even move your account quickly to another server and be back up in no time.
So do you depend on free and prefer the type of service you get with free?
At what point did businesses expect free would be reliable, and expect free customer support as well?
If you lost money due to using a free service methinks you only have one person to blame.
