Also – if you do use the chat option in gmail, you get the option to make your chat “off the record”, meaning that it won’t be saved in your gmail (nor in the other party’s gmail, if they’re chatting from within gmail as well).

If people are going to get huffy, they could at least get huffy about things that are actually a problem.

I, too, implicitly trust the current management of Google. However, I don’t trust the US government – not neccessarily anything specific against that government, I just don’t trust governments in general.

I’m sure we can all imagine scenarios in which the government of the day decided it was neccessary for themt o obtain complete access to all gmail archives etc – it’s not too much of a stretch, given what the current government has tried to get access to.

The rest of this thought is left as an exercise for the reader.
