As for banning all freemail accounts, well all I have to say is that I'm using @home/Comcaste internet services and since @Home went belly up and Comcaste is attempting to move our accounts over to their own network my email has been iffy at best. Heck I'm paying for 2 extra IPs and they deleted those mail accounts altogether. The main account works about 50% of the time. Complaints get a stock letter saying basically "we can not add to or modify your account", until the change over is complete. To avoid the loss of mail and interupted service, I've resorted to a freemail account at Yahoo, to insure delivery. Sometimes there IS a good reason to use those accounts and I'd hate to see all of them arbitarailly banned. I've been a member, mostly lurker, here for years and never broken any rules OR participated in wares. Why should I get banned cause my ISP is haveing change over problems?
