Thanks Elenar for your thoughts,
You have touched on a subject that I have witnessed in education for many iterations since becoming a student in post-secondary, that is pushing technologies on the client without understanding what the client wanted. ...and worse is that you, I, and everyone else are paying for it. Yahoo!
I was not excited, this is the 21st century, real Internet users already have there own email address, don't need what I did not ask for.
