HIT DELETE -- IF YOU MUST
Gmail users are all excited because the Google Mail people have added a "delete" button to the interface. (It doesn't take much to get a rise from some people!) In the past you could delete mail but it was a bit of a convoluted process.

Gmail has been billing itself as the email provider that you never have to bother with deleting things because there is so much storage available. What they didn't adequately account for is the fact that many people WANT to delete things. Decluttering their archives gives them a sense that everything in life is in order.

BTW, I still have 100 email invitations if anyone is interested in an invitation only Gmail account. The first 100 who respond will be the lucky winners. All others will have to go on to my waiting list until tomorrow -- when they issue 100 more. :-)
