So someone explain to me the big deal with using a free email account when you sign up with a company. Maybe we don't want our email address sold to someone in a third world country. Fine with me, I won't promote your shit then.

My rant of the day.

Personally I don't know wtf the point it.

There are SO many "free email" sites out there that aren't as well known as yahoo google and hotmail, that there's no way programs can keep track.

I think it does very little if anything to cut down on fraud, which is what I'm guessing their goal is.

I know, an actual e-mail address associated with a live domain name is just so much to ask. Give me a break, you don't trust a sponsor with your e-mail address but you expect them to send you a check every week.

Thanks for not answering my question.

Understood but it is highly annoying still.
I can and often have to set up domain emails just for that reason, even though I rather use gmail for it all now. I am very addicted to it and it has done more to keep my email box clutter free than I ever could via outlook or other email clients.
