Not nonsense at all. gmail is a mail reader (like as Thunderbird, Mutt, Pine, or Outlook (the program) + a mail server + domain name (gmail.com). email is set standards which gmail implements. email is NOT gmail and let's not forget this. I'm sure most everyone on this list is tech savy enough to understand that. Brian, it would astonish me if you don't, but your reply is difficult to understand your intent whether it's toungue in cheek or not. It's quite shocking to me to have conversations with young people, even into their early 20s who do not understand this distinction. And there are many people who do not understand the distinction between a standards based system such as mail or the web and a proprietary system such as facebook, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, etc etc. And many of them simply don't care, for them, they just use it because their friends do.
