Wait a sec, what am I saying. I pity your situation Sleep.
Hope you find that wonderful e-mail site which we have all spent our lives searching for.

) howevernow they are on a pay service (£15 a year) and i am not inclined to pay it

Shouldn't your IP provide you with an e-mail account. I have one which I only use to check my phone and internet bills. It is on Outlook however, so it's very attractive to all those anti-Microsoft hackers and virus writers. So I rarely use it.

Indeed it is, but i prefer to keep it separate, that way i know which is which.
In the UK there is a service which will actually take these companies to court for spamming your email box. This also applies to Fax and telephone.

Well my IP provider thankfully does not send me any spam mail. However your problem could of arisen from your cookies folder.
As for changing your account, why not try Yahoo.com, I heard that they have an e-mail account. But I haven't bothered to try it out yet.

Do you mean my problem with Hotmail?
I might do that, i might just become a recluse instead and not be contactable whatsoever
Or i might change my hotmail to
stopspammingmyhotmailbox@hotmail.com

I'm afraid you'll attract more attention with an account like that Sleep.
Not sure if the cookie problem relates to Hotmail, but from my understanding there are some programs (spyware) which target your PC looking for your e-mail account. Originally used by companies. However my sources may be incorrect

Okay

*hug*
Now, I'm beginning to notice a trend with you. Extremely nice to me, and maybe other women? Maybe not as nice to the men? Why is that?

Sleep, I have accounts with both. I like keeping the hotmail account, since I don't think MS is going bankrupt anytime soon, but Yahoo has been having problems. However, the yahoo account is virtually spam-free. Whenever I get spam on hotmail, I immediately forward it to
abuse@hotmail.com. Sometimes they are able to get these guys.
That Nigerian email is a well-documented case of fraud. I recommend that if you still have it or get it again, that you send it to whoever handles that in the UK--I received a variation from Ivory Coast recently--I forwarded it to the NJ Attorney General and some other governmental agencies that are fighting that.

I have a concern.....if CM leaves for a week and a half, will the females population get out of practice with their hugging skills?
I have only one solution, I BS, shall offer to take up the slack and let them hug me to keep in practice.
@CM, free tea when you get back dude,....but, uh....feel free to take your time.
