Gmail makes it sound like it's my fault

11 Aug 2008

I was trying to check my email this afternoon and I got this message from Gmail:

gmail-error.png

They've phrased this error message to make it sound like my fault. "We're sorry but your Gmail account is currently experiencing errors. You won't be able to use your account while these errors last, but don't worry, your account data and messages are safe." It makes it sound like there's something in my email that brought down their service and now their engineers have to fix my problem.

Does anyone else read it this way?

Didn't feel the fault, but felt like dem bastards did something with my precious account, i.e. took it more personal (:

I had the same problem. But with a free service..I think we should "patience". And till now I've not found a better "free webmail client" than gmail ;-).
