I use hotmail (zwei_neuf@hotmail.com)

It's free, it's easy to use, and if you don't need to do much with e-mail, there aren't any problems with it.
I don't need very extensive e-mailing capabilities; I don't use it for work, and I communicate with my family via non-internet means. The occasional message from friends is all I get. Used to get more when I was active in the Star Wars Combine (Lt. Zwei Neuf, former XO 1st Sector Fleet), but now I'm in the reserves, so I only check my mail like once a month.
Yep, I'm a internet junkie that doesn't do e-mail. Weird, huh?

I don't think there's any shame in using free mail accounts. Sure, they get used by dumbfucks like JC, but that's a problem with the person, not the account. I'm perfectly willing to let everyone know who I really am; I just like getting free e-mail also.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

I too, use a hotmail account, because I used to move around a lot and it was therefore more convenient. This coupled with the fact that I do not wish to clutter up work-related communications with personal mail.

I use hotmail

In my experience, blocking certain email providers rarely helps stop troll attacks. Tanknet comes to mind..

Lol, I can imagine Darth Wong banning Hotmail without asking this and watching as half of the board can't post anymore. :P

But really, you should ban AOL'ers. :shock:

Heh heh, that would be funny.

I wonder if I signed up on this board with my hotmail account...

I'm a useless pile of subhuman racist filth who attacked Darth Wong's heritage and accused him of abusing his wife and children!

I've got Hotmail. It's my primary one, mostly because I'm too damn lazy to find something better.
