I have a gmail address as my primary e-mail address. Is that a crime? No? Then why do some sites insist on only accepting email addresses from non-free providers? I mean I understand that spam is a problem, but surely banning all free email providers is not the solution.
I haven't had a non-free email address since working at my last full time job - before moving to a different continent for 3 months, and I've never had a long term contract with an ISP. In short, my gmail address is the most reliable, constant and "permanent" email address I've ever had!
Alas, there is a solution...It seems one can always use the newest, most obscure (and possibly quite dodgy) free email service a couple of times before it gets onto the list of banned sites...
