Because the perception of the internet by the third larges mail provider
on the internet, with over 146 million users[0] is not a trivial number
that can be ignored.

Maybe I should have said, "welcome to the place where you do not wish to
tread, the place where 1/3rd of the people using the internet have their
perceptions shaped. be careful, there is a lot of stuff here you do not
want to step in!"
