To ask users to change long-time email addresses just because your site has an issue with them is almost as bad as asking them to change to your favorite browser. I'd imagine <10% would think it's worth it, they'd just move on to more user-friendly sites.

......... it doesn't sound like the delays were all MS's doing
Sorry Allen your wrong..

2 Days?

Day 1 WED : was wasted as they bounced back my replies.
I showed in the post they blocked my e-mail.

Day 2 ? THUR
I wanted to know if it was all my accounts, as they did not
make that clear in there e-mails, and I wanted to check that
it wasn't just MS doing the "Our way or the Highway" Tactics.

The change from ?all to -all was done the same day.
But i dont think i had mentioned that at my best guesstimate
msn had blocked me for 2 weeks before i was aware of it?


I was just going by your posts on the first page:

#208503 - 03/13/08 09:19 AM - when you first mentioned you have changed the setting


You can't buck the microsoft's/yahoo's/google's/aol's of the world unless you really don't care that you are going to cut significant portions of the net out of your site. You can do what it takes to make your site accessible or just quit whining about the results if you don't. crazy There are *plenty* of sites out there who will do what it takes to get over the hurdles... it's called customer service.
