What a rotten idea!  The free e-mail service providers are 99% of the time used
responsibly.  We must not punish the majority for the sins of the minority.
I find the free web based e-mail to be extremely useful (e-mail from school, out
of town, etc.) and it would be extremely displeasing if a trend of disallowing
membership from free e-mail providers begins.
