> I won't work with USG IT

This may be none of anyone's business, but I'm curious enough to try asking anyway: is this a moral objection of some sort, or something more mundane (i.e. inconvenient regulatory burden)?

Moral.

What specifically is your moral objection?

I wrote a longer response a couple days ago but the outage ate it. :)

IIRC (because I think "Moral" is likely to be misinterpreted by people reading into it what they want) your response came down to "the moral landscape when working with DOD and DHS in particular, is forbiddingly difficult to navigate, so I've chosen to avoid them both - EPA et al I'd be happy to work with".

My friend in USGS reports that they switched last year, from an internally-hosted Lotus install to Google Apps for Business.

Out of curiosity, what do you use for mail?
