@danjones000 @ipg @floppy I'm still grieving. My XMPP is still up, I have 4 contacts remaining and we almost never talk (it mostly serves as a local net com with my partner).

I remember messages starting not to get through with GTalk on either side, no error or anything. The thing died off progressively until they pulled the plug.

I will never forgive Google for that. This scar is also probably the reason I will never trust a company ever again with anything.
