Verizon and MSN

My cell phone service provider, Verizon is switching its web services to MSN. This means I *have to* setup a hotmail account.. I've been trying to delay this as long as possible, but it seems I cannot do that anylonger. Got my 'final notice' in e-mail today.

What does a hotmail account mean to my cell phone? Lots and lots of spam. Wondeful, can't bloody wait.

So anyone who has my cell phone email address.. it will no longer be valid soon.. e-mail me for the new one. Something @hotmail.com -- not sure what yet.

Another question.. what the heck is this butterfly doing to this man's crotch?

Sounds like a good excuse to dump verizon.

"I'm sorry, I wanted USABLE phone e-mail, and since 1/2 the world blocks mail from hotmail.com as spam, it's not usable as such"

When you sign up for hotmail, don't enable listing in the white pages, or anything like that. Only use the address for talking to people, not lists. Don't use the address for signing up for anything. I'm sure you've heard this advice before. :) For my hotmail account thus far, it's mostly working. I get 1-3 spams a week. Not bad!
