just wanted to douse this fire before it burns too brightly....
I was not advocating the barring of hotmail or other free email services. I
know and understand how useful they can be. I'm sure that 95% of all hotmail
users in Oly are on the up-and-up. But I'm also pretty sure that the
temptation for a player that is in/almost in/losing a war to start a 2nd
faction must be too great for EVERYBODY to pass on.
This is an unfortunate possible evil that must be accepted in this an any
email game.
