I agree with the point, though, that GMail addresses are generally viewed differently than, say, Yahoo addresses. Maybe it's because years ago a lot of spam producers did so through anonymous Yahoo accounts, and that stigma remains in some people's minds.

If a Web site's "Contact Us" page lists GMail accounts, I don't think anything of it; if it lists Yahoo accounts, my initial reaction is to be suspicious or to question the professionalism of the site.
