Sorry for my rather drastic kind of answering : I wasn't aware of a rather
prominent GMX fellow who already answered in this thread , Mr Buerssner , else I
would have remained silent ,  and : I suddenly was a little afraid ;-) .

This is a worldwide forum ; it seems there are parts of the world where a
personal email adress is part of any Internet access  which is certainly not
true elsewhere .

I couldn't detect any connection between the level of trouble-making and the
kind of email access so far : that's all .

After it was made clear by a few posters that in their opinion the free email
services are the cause of any problem in online world I couldn't help being
slightly surprised and annoyed .
