the fact that they limit a standard account to 100 addresses to block annoys me at this point. yes, that was more than sufficient number prior to a couple of weeks ago. its not a matter of the cost of upgrading to their for-pay email, but that I don't want to reward their lack of action with regard to Swen by paying them.

I guess that I should look for another provider, or at least switch my email address and obfuscate the return address in postings.
