When buzz was first pushed to your gmail account, you were presented with a screen that looked like this:
I can see why people would think that you had to opt-in. The button that says "Sweet! Check out Buzz" must clearly sign you up while the link that says "Nah, go to my inbox" is obviously the option to not sign up. That's just false though. Both of those links took you to the exact same place. I don't remember the exact URL, but I believe both options were https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&shva=1#buzz or something similar.I'm not pissed at google for creating a poorly thought out social networking option. I'm pissed at google for making it look like it was a choice.
