I'm inclined to agree with both of you; my only concern is the occasional
good poster from a freemail account (eg Quzah) who's input we might well
loose.

Out of interest, how will mud adverts be affected by such a ban (particularly
those in .sig's)?

KaVir.

P.S: Just be glad you don't live in the UK - I spend about $25/month on my ISP, 
which pales in comparison to my (on average) $150/month phone bill (that's just 
for the calls to my provider).
