Its likely if you send someone a gmail invite, and they do not use it,
they may not have seen it. Some mail gets blocked as spam, missed,
whatever. Obviously.
But, you have a couple options as the person sending out the invites.
When you send an invite from gmail, a copy of the *complete* invite
goes into your sent folder. This is very important, because if someone
does not use the invite, the *secret* link for the invite may be
reused by forwarding the sent message (up to three weeks before it
expires). Or, you can notify the person you invited and resend the
invite, etc. Its probably not a great idea to forward the same invite
to many people. ;-)
If you have ever used gmail for the oracle-l list, you will probably
like the way it collapses threads for easy viewing. I'm saving a lot
of time using gmail over yahoo, for example.

PS: Like Daniel (uberdba at gmail.com) already said, most of us
working with him have plenty of invites because we get replenished
every week. I only invite based on requests through Daniel on
oracle-l. :-)
