    I got up this morning and tried to check my mail before I went to work, and it went to this msn.com domain thing where it was asking for my birth date.

    Seems a little fishy to me. Anyone else have this happen?

    Are there more than 4 forces governing our dimensions?

    Will mookie ever get out of his funk?

    Oh, I've got two Gmail accounts. I use my Hotmail for signing up for anything that might result in spam, and also there's a few people I need to give my new address to that still email me on that.

    I forgot I had hotmail. I saw this thread and skipped over it cause it slipped my mind lol I'm such a dork. I guess cause I hardly use it. But I check my hotmail every morning too though and I've never gotten that. That is fishy.

    I've heard of this Gmail too, but haven't tried it out yet. I think I will. I can always do without that spam.

    I set up a junk account on Yahoo, and weirdly, it has become my primary email address. I certainly don't want to pimp a like Yahoo, but they do an excellent job of pushing spam into the "bulk" folder.

    I still (barely) maintain a hotmail account, only because MSN Messenger is the messenger client of choice in the office.

    Details are fuzzy, but doesn't gmail scan all your email and use your email for marketing purposes (and perhaps for purposes even more sinister, if there is such a thing)? Perhaps Yahoo does the same.

    I hadn't heard that, and I know a lot of CompSci guys who use gmail who would be really attuned to that kind of thing.

    Same here.

    As for Gmail, they do look for keywords that get used to put the links on the right of the window.

    Gmail rules.

    I can't even use my roadrunner address anymore because all it gets is spam and viruses.

    And if my account ever fills up with a bunch of spam, I can invite myself 50 more times and get a new address

    No birthday question, but I did have to accept some new conditions and they changed some things.
